User:Anne drew
I'm a Canadian software developer and editor who loves working on articles about current events, politics, and technology. I also develop user scripts and templates to help support the community.
You'll often find me patrolling recent changes, helping out with edit requests, and joining discussions in requests for comment. I do my best to stay neutral and back up my edits with reliable sources. While I'm pretty comfortable in some areas, I'm still a beginner in others. I remain committed to continuous learning and welcome constructive feedback.
