Hi, I'm Meiko. I'm project manager for Brickimedia's system administrator team. I'm an administrator and functionary here at Brickipedia. I operate MeikoBot, a maintenance bot on several projects of the Brickimedia network with 65,333 edits. As of 2015, I'm also Brickipedia's LEGO Ambassador, which means I serve as a point of contact between Brickipedia and the LEGO Group to provide valuable insight and activities between the two entities.

Outside of Brickipedia, I have worked as a news reporter and database administrator at Brickset. I was project manager for BrickCraft.me, a defunct LEGO fan hub, and an administrator on both its wiki projects—The Ninjago Wiki and The Chima Wiki. I was also a staff member of the BioMedia Project, and am an administrator on both BIONICLEsector01 and HEROsector01.

Aside from the LEGO community, I'm a professional automotive photographer and a car enthusiast.

I have 150 edits (6,056 mainspace).

I joined Brickipedia 11 years, 10 months, 18 days ago as of November 5, 2024.

Biography

I started building with LEGO at a very young age, primarily from influence of my brothers and father. My first set was 6525 Blaze Commander, not counting bins of DUPLO blocks I had. I then moved on to Jack Stone, which was one of my favorite themes as a young kid, and BIONICLE. My first BIONICLE sets were 8532 Onua and 8570 Gali Nuva. With my interest in BIONICLE, I joined my first online LEGO community, BZPower. I followed BIONICLE up to its close in 2010, whilst collecting various other themes such as City, and later Ninjago, Legends of Chima, Architecture, and others. In 2015, I became a LEGO Ambassador.
