I'm a Physicist-turned-Computer Scientist from New York.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Physics and I'm currently pursuing a Masters degree in Computer Science. I'm also participating in a research group in campus creating agent-based models in Java.

I have working knowledge in Web Development (PHP, mySQL, Javascript/jQuery, CSS, HTML5) and created a couple of small extensions. I also work with Java and Perl and have some limited experience with C and C++.

I'm a firm believer in free access and open source tools. My personal website is also available, and contains some web and programming projects I've done lately.

GSoC2013 Proposal
My proposal RTL Support in VisualEditor was submitted to GSoC2013. Feedback is appreciated!

Note: I also thought about a GSoC project related to Physics demos in MediaWiki, but after further consideration, it may prove to be better to work on it outside of GSoC. You can still take a look at it if you're interested, here.

2013 OPW Stage 6 Proposal
I have also submitted the same proposal  RTL Support in VisualEditor to the Outreach Program for Women

Contributions
I have started submitting bug fixes to MediaWiki and extensions, including VisualEditor:
 * Fixed: Bug 47717 - VisualEditor: Link inspector input text always has LTR direction}: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/61960/
 * Fixed: Bug 36032 - The reference number should be bidi-isolated: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/61634/
 * Fixed: Bug 45585 - Keyboard Icon of Language selector for RTL languages should be at left: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/61749/ (Submitted to GitHub repository for jQuery.IME)

Special:ExtensionStatus
An extension that goes over the list of installed extensions in the mediawiki installation and checks if there are any latest commits (changes to the code) in the remote repository. For the moment, the extension checks changes in front of a Gerrit repository only.

For details about the (ongoing) development of this extension, see Extension:ExtensionStatus
