21 June 2026: A pepperoni pizza with sausage—my favourite

Hey there! I go by Rie but you can also call me Vacant0/Vacant. I use they/them pronouns. I'm a Wikipedia administrator working in areas such as content assessment, In the news, Did you know, RfPP, and AIV. In real life, I'm a computer scientist, video game developer, photographer, and writer; sometimes, I also do visual arts and music. I'm also autistic and have obsessive–compulsive disorder.

My interests on Wikipedia mainly relate to Serbian politics, video games, food and drinks, technology, biographies, publications, and philosophy. Although I have extensive knowledge of post-1990 Serbian politics, I do not consider myself an expert as I do not have a degree in political science. Nevertheless, I am always open to helping out and answering questions. You can contact me on my talk page or via email.

I'm an active Good Article and Featured Article contributor; I review and promote articles to such statuses. I have coordinated the July 2024, October 2024, May 2025, and June 2026 GAN backlog drives, mentored newbie GAN reviewers, and created the Good Article Gazette newsletter. I was elected administrator in January 2026. You can see my RfA and answers to 15 questions on this page.
