As a Wikipedia editor, I understand that my goal is the destruction of my purpose. -- Vami_IV

Hi, guys! I'm Sohom. I originally hail from Calcutta a pretty cool city situated on the banks of the river Ganges. I am avidly interested in a wide variety of topics related to India. However, from time to time one may find me geeking over programming and computer science-related articles which is where my non-Wikipedia-related interests lie.

Conflict of interest
Also, just for the sake of transparency, I have a non-financial conflict of interest with the following organizations. While I do not believe that my involvement in any of these organizations rises to the level of it being a traditional conflict of interest editing scenario, I will still try to defer to other editors when editing content related to the organizations if concerns are brought up about my non-neutrality. • Manipal Institute of Technology

• Manipal Academy of Higher Education

• North Carolina State University

• Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy

• Google's bug bounty program and Google Summer of Code

• Wikimedia, Wikisource (lol, obviously)

Content
As of 2023, I have created over 31 articles (and edited many many more articles) relating to two major overarching categories, the Indian subcontinent and Computer Security. 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

•  IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy

•   Client Hints

•   Hindu Mela

•  Amasebailu

•  John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune

•   Delulu

•   Physics Wallah

•    Boroline

•  Nicholas Carlini

•  Kakoune (with Sink Cat)

•   Soumen Mitra

•  Frutiger Aero (with the rest of the Discord cabal, Di, TechnoSquirrel69 and Queen of Hearts)

Technical
On the more technical side of things, I mainly work on maintaining the ProofreadPage and  PageTriage extensions (I have   on ProofreadPage, the  Wikisource extension, the PageTriage extension and   VideoCutTool). I also work on other tasks/bugs depending on what scratches my itch at that time. :)

If you need to contact me regarding something I did on-wiki, I'm Soda on Phabricator and  Sohom Datta on Wikimedia Gerrit. To contact me about something I did off-wiki, feel free to shoot me an email at.

In additon to this, I also develop small userscripts that allow for certain quality of life improvements to workflows that I or some other editors use onwiki. I am happy to write new scripts and feel free to contact me regarding the same. A few of the script I have created as of 2023 are listed below: • PageTriageUserspaceLogger

• Redirectify

• FastReview

I have previously recieved grants from Wikimedia Italia and Google (via Google Summer of Code) to work on certain features in ProofreadPage. During these period, I have edited mutliple metawiki and mediawiki.org pages and have also 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.
