David Richfield

I am David Richfield, a German chemical engineer / biochemist born in South Africa. I'm also a founder member and former director of Wikimedia South Africa, the South African Wikimedia Chapter. I also created the parliament diagram tool, which is widely used to create diagrams for political articles on Wikipedia.

My username comes from IRC: "/me" is a shortcut which inserts your username.

I enjoy learning languages, graphic design, 3D modeling with Blender, cartography on OpenStreetMap, computer programming, playing Go and promoting free software. In 2016, I started juggling.

Here's a Limerick: $\int _{1}^{\sqrt[{3}]{3}}\!t^{2}\,dt\cos({\frac {3\pi }{9}})=\ln({\sqrt[{3}]{e}})$
