About me

Hello, my name is Sarthak Khare. I am a Computer Science engineer from Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, India, and currently Tech Lead at Cobox. I am the founder of Wiki Open Learning and ex Technical Head at Wiki Club SATI, where I continue to organise, coordinate, and facilitate community events. I build open-source tools for the Wikimedia community on Toolforge and Render, contribute to Wikimedia Commons, and take part in Indic Wikimedia initiatives across India.

About me

[edit]

I'm a full-stack engineer currently leading engineering at Cobox, with a background of open-source contributions for IIT Indore, SRM University AP, and the Wikimedia community. Inside Wikimedia, my focus is two-fold: building lightweight tools that solve real bottlenecks for editors, and helping run on-ground events that bring new technical contributors into the movement.

My involvement with the Wikimedia community

[edit]
  • Founder, Wiki Open Learning. A Wikimedia learning initiative on Meta-Wiki focused on open educational resources.
  • Ex Technical Head, Wiki Club SATI. Previously led technical operations and open-source initiatives for the Wikimedia chapter at Samrat Ashok Technological Institute, Vidisha; continue to support events as an active community member.
  • National Jury, Wiki Science Competition India, representing South Asia.
  • Active organiser, coordinator, and event facilitator for Wiki Club SATI events.
  • Contributor to Wikimedia Commons, MediaWiki, and Indic Wikimedia projects.

Tools built for the Wikimedia community

[edit]

Open-source tools I've built for editors and the Commons community, hosted on Wikimedia Toolforge and Render. Each one solves a real bottleneck I've watched contributors wrestle with.

  • Commons Image Converter converts images into Commons-compatible formats and specifications before upload, so contributors don't get rejected on format grounds (Toolforge)
  • Wikitable Converter converts wikitables to and from CSV, JSON, and HTML for editors who work across formats
  • Commons SVG Sanitizer cleans SVG files of Commons-incompatible elements before upload
  • Editor Dashboard personal dashboard for Wikimedia editors to track contributions, watchlists and tasks
