Hello! I try to focus my editing on public policy, history, and food, but I often end up bouncing around randomly instead. I particularly like to improve page titles and introductions, since readers tend to use those more than anything else.[citation needed]
I grew up in Concord, North Carolina in the United States and I've been editing since at least February 2005, when I added a remarkably obscure fact about an Ottoman–Armenian–Lebanese political party. I really wish I could remember how 13-year-old me ended up there, although I imagine the random article feature played some role.
Since 2015, I've worked at the Wikimedia Foundation. This is my personal account which I use for volunteer contributions; these contributions are not part of my employment and are not reviewed or endorsed by the Foundation. For my work-related contributions, see User:Neil Shah-Quinn (WMF).

I disclosed this work to the Wikimedia Foundation before I was hired.
