We are thrilled to welcome Patrick Wellever, our new Full Stack Developer, to the MediaStorm family.

During the past decade, Patrick has worked in various roles at the intersection of journalism and technology. Before joining MediaStorm, he was a digital producer at National Geographic, where he worked on a major digital overhaul of the Out of Eden Walk project — a decade-long storytelling odyssey tracing the pathways of ancient human migration out of Africa and across the globe.

Prior to that, he spent four years with the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT, where he organized training opportunities in digital media production and web technologies for visiting fellows, in addition to overseeing the program’s web presence and internal technology needs. Patrick’s background also includes stints at a daily newspaper in Michigan and a small software company offering a hosted publishing platform and other services for news media outlets.

After starting his career in photojournalism, Patrick has steadily shifted his focus toward harnessing technology in the service of impactful storytelling. He lives in Washington, DC, with his wife, Natsumi.
