I'm Frances Hocutt. I trained as a chemist and materials scientist, like patterns and details, like working on tools, create supportive communities, am a hacker/maker/artist.

My constants:
 * It's always more complicated.

I'm applying to the OPW internship project, this one in particular: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Evaluate_MediaWiki_web_API_client_libraries. I'm interested because it would be a way to improve Wikimedia's toolset and because it lines up with my skills and interests--I want to learn how APIs work, I want to learn to write good specs, and I want to see what a range of implementations of the same thing look like in different languages.

OPW looks like a wonderfully supportive program and like it offers a structure that will help me get this done well.
