I have created over 31 articles (and edited many many more articles) primarily relating to the computer security topic area. Out of these articles, I'm proud of my contributions to a specific few of them:

• Cross-site leaks
• DOM clobbering
• History sniffing
• Site isolation
• Cookie stuffing
• Cookie syncing
• CSS fingerprinting
• IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy
• Client Hints
• Infostealer
• Nicholas Carlini
• Brave (web browser)
• Hindu Mela
• Boroline
• Kakoune (with Sink Cat)
• Frutiger Aero (with the rest of the Discord folks, Di, TechnoSquirrel69 and Queen of Hearts)
• Liquid Glass (alongside a bunch of other folks)

On the more technical side of things, I mainly work on maintaining the ProofreadPage and PageTriage extensions (I have +2 on ProofreadPage, the Wikisource extension, the PageTriage extension and VideoCutTool). I'm Soda on Phabricator and Sohom Datta on Wikimedia Gerrit. I also operate SodiumBot, help out smaller Wikisources with technical issues, and help maintain a few Toolforge tools. I also work on other tasks/bugs depending on what scratches my itch :)

If you need to contact me regarding something I did on-wiki, please use my talk page. If you want to contact me off-wiki, feel free to send me a email atsohomdatta1+wikimedia-public(at)gmail.com.

I have previously recieved grants from Wikimedia Italia and Google (via Google Summer of Code) to work on certain features in ProofreadPage. During this period, I have edited multiple metawiki and mediawiki.org pages and actively contributed to Wikipedia outside of my development obligations. My work during Google Summer of Code is documented here and my work during the Wikimedia Italia grant is documented here.

The Wikimedia Foundation has also paid for my travel to it's conferences, including but not limited to my travel to and from Wikimania 2023, Indic Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 and travel expenses incurred during attending PTAC committee physical meetings.
