About me

I'm Q65501643. I live in Warsaw, Poland. I'm interested in a wide range of topics (to some degree, and way below the professional level) including history, geography, urban planning, international relations, management, biking, even philosophy and modern physics. My nick is in quenya.

Although I work for the Wikimedia Foundation, contributions under this account are exclusively in my volunteer capacity. See SGrabarczuk (WMF) for anything related to my work.
