Wikimedia Deutschland - Since 2016, I've been creating connections between volunteers and the Wikidata project development teams. I organize and coordinate online and on-site events for the volunteer communities that contribute to Wikidata and Wikipedia every day
From 2017 to 2023, I organized the WikidataCon conference, which brought together hundreds of enthusiastic people to exchange knowledge and skills around Wikidata.

In your role within the Wikimedia movement, you certainly need to create and maintain documentation pages on Meta. With my help, you and your team will no longer have to worry about clicking on the "Edit source" button.
During an express training course, you will learn the basics of editing wiki pages on Meta, discover how to edit pages with the code editor and learn how to interact with the other participants.

This in-depth course covers the essentials of page layout: you'll master all aspects of wikicode, you'll know how to use images, tables and templates, and you'll be comfortable with creating and updating pages translated into several languages.

Commitments
‘A Fera Bio
‘A Fera Bio is a non-profit promoting organic and local produce in Catania, Sicily, which organizes a monthly farmers' market. I help them with their communication strategy, including sending a newsletter to their members.
Ruote Libere
Ruote Libere is a collective of activist cyclists in Catania, Sicily. Together, we give visibility to cyclists in the city, introduce new people to cycling, and alert public authorities to the need for sustainable mobility infrastructures.
Destinazione Sicilia
Destinazione Sicilia is an initiative created to facilitate and support the return of talented people to their region of origin. Through a community, events and skills exchanges, we aim to support the development and attractiveness of the region. I'm supporting the collective in implementing their community development strategy.
Expats in Catania
I’m regularly organizing social, networking and coworking events for international, freelance or remote working people in Catania. Some of them take place in the frame of the Expats in Catania, Remote Workers Catania or the expat network Internations.
Flexible collaboration
I'm based in Catania, Sicily (Western Europe, UTC+1 or UTC+2). For all my international projects, I work mainly remotely. Depending on your needs, I can also travel for events or conferences.
We'll work mainly remotely and asynchronously: to optimize our time and resources, I'll offer you occasional online calls when we need to touch base, and we'll work mainly on shared documents and via messaging.
We'll define our working methods and tools at the start of the project, according to your needs and habits.
If your team and/or project is based in Sicily, we'll be happy to meet over coffee, in a coworking space, or why not experiment with alternative ways of working, such as holding a meeting while walking in nature!
I regularly work with other freelance consultants and experts who bring complementary skills to our projects. For example, I'm part of the Wikimedia Consultants Network, whose members can be found at consultants.wiki.
My core values
Collaboration
I always work in cooperation rather than competition, forging links between people and creating opportunities to build together.
Impact
In every project to which I commit, I seek to have a positive impact on the communities and ecosystems to which I contribute.
Creativity
Leading my projects with enthusiasm, I explore new ideas, test multiple tools and approaches, and draw inspiration from different worlds to bring a personal touch to my creations.
Reliability
Organized and efficient, I'm committed to delivering results on time. Used to work autonomously, my work habits are heavily optimized.
