After contributing peer production communities in various ways since I was a teenager, I began to realize (the hard way) that building community online is... difficult and complicated! After being (mostly) convinced that academia was the right place to fix this, I've spent an increasingly large portion of my life to trying to contribute to an emerging science of Internet-based collaborative production. Since beginning my academic career, I have published tens of thousand of [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q103184 articles]! Sadly, nearly all of them are words [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2768 the], [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2767#F1 a], and [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2767#F2 an].

In the more boring accounting (which I've copied and pasted from elsewhere): I am an Associate Professor in the University of Washington Department of Communication and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the departments of Human-Centered Design and Engineering as well as in the Information School and the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. At UW, I am also Affiliate Faculty in the Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences, the eScience Institute, and the "Design Use Build" (DUB) group that supports research on on human computer interaction. I am also a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and an affiliate of the Institute of Quantitative Social Science at Harvard.

Much more information is on [https://mako.cc/academic/ my academic homepage].  If you need to find me, I have put [https://mako.cc/contact/ more detailed contact information online] than I probably should.
