Welcome Tiffany, Dane, Michele, George, Donall, Heath, Andrew, Alexandr!!!

We’re excited to welcome eight super awesome people to the reddit team. As is the reddit tradition, we asked each of the new admins to introduce themselves in their own words:

Tiffany Dohzen (/u/tdohz), data product manager

Hello, Internet! As reddit's Data Product Manager, I'll be using the Power of Data (tm) to figure out how to make reddit more awesome for everyone, while making sure we respect your privacy. Keep an eye out on /r/redditdata for data insights and more from inside reddit. I'm originally from southern California, and worked at Microsoft and Twitter before joining reddit. I'm often lurking in /r/mildlyinteresting, /r/nerdfighters, /r/dataisbeautiful, and /r/AskScience. Non-Internet hobbies include baking, knitting, puzzlehunts, and eating delicious San Francisco food.

Dane Hansen (/u/danehansen), front end developer

Parties, motorcycles, guns, rock ‘n’ roll. Also pizza. I like making rad stuff with code. I hope to make reddit rad with code. Check my site at danehansen.com if you want to see some past work.





Michele Titolo (/u/michelectric), software engineer

Greetings from Gallifrey...er San Francisco! I’m reddit’s new Certified Apple Fanboy™...er iOS Software Engineer. I’ve been making apps for over 4 years, and can’t wait to unleash the can of awesome that is reddit on mobile. You’ll find me around /r/iOSProgramming, /r/redditdev, /r/DoctorWho, and /r/TrollXChromosomes. When not on the internet I’m usually travelling (in my TARDIS ofc), talking about programming, or on my motorcycle.

George Pang (/u/xilvar), software engineer

Heya everyone! I’ve worked on a ton of systems in the front end, back end, mobile, and browser, etc. for years and years. I’m really happy that I’ll now be able to help carry the multitudinous facets of reddit into cool new realms. I’ve worked on games, wall street stuff, ‘social’ and even printed paper products in a vaguely dunder mifflin sort of way. This will certainly be the most fun! In my spare time I really like to play dota although I actually like dota6 better than either dota2 or LoL... I enjoy growing plants and they’re my happy little friends, so I try to avoid eating veggies as much as possible… I also hear that cows produce a lot of greenhouse gases, so I do my part by eating as many of them as possible.

Donall O'Brien (/u/ocrasorm), community manager

Hey internet people. I am the newest member of the community team. It is such a thrill to be working for reddit. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any issues. I have 10 years experience in different customer service environments. I am the first permanent reddit employee based outside of North America. In my spare time I talk about how disgusting all condiments are and hang out in /r/ireland. Oh I love every sport on the planet. See ye around!

Heath Black (/u/heathwblack),  product manager

Hello Denizens of Reddit! What a great feeling it is to be working with the amazing SLC reddit team. The opportunity was hard to pass up, so my wife (Sallie), son (Jebediah), and beagle (Junebug) made the move from Portland, Oregon. I’ll be working on some fun, experimental products that redditgifts is planning in the future. I have a Masters degree with a focus on modern Irish literature. I’m from Oklahoma and have an outline of it tattooed on my right arm. I’m a big NBA enthusiast. My favorite movie of all time is Roadhouse, starring Patrick Swayze.  I spend most of my time in /r/nba,  /r/dataisbeautiful, /r/internetisbeautiful, and /r/mapporn.

Andrew Reyes (/u/rhymeswithAndrew), staff accountant

Valar Morghulis! Hey reddit squad. I’ll be the left-handed right-hand man to /u/sgtjamz, here to help manage the day-to-day accounting operations while keeping my eyes on the long term goal of financial maturity. Stoked to be part of the back office for the most unique web community out there! I am a Silicon Valley native, I practice boxing outside of work, I used to DJ in high school & college, and I still can’t rollerblade. As for reddit, find me surfing thru all of the music subs, /r/zenhabits, /r/lifeprotips, or /r/worldnews.

Alexandr Marinenko (/u/jo_asakura), front end developer

Hi, reddit! My name is Alex and I am a new addition to this great company. I am a front-end magician with about 10 years of development experience. I am originally from Russia and moved to the US 3 years ago. I have worked for different companies in Russia, Europe and the US. I am really excited to bring all my knowledge and experience to reddit and make it the best place on the Internet. Outside of work I spend time mostly with my family either in our garden, hiking, or doing photo sessions. Also, my little daughter teaches me the hardest and most rewarding skill in my life - being a parent. If I have a spare hour or so I like to drive outside of the city and take a couple of landscape shots. I am also a huge fan of Arsenal FC. My favorite subreddits are /r/gunners, /r/photography, /r/javascript and /r/web_design. I hope to see you all there!
