When I first joined WikiLeaks in 2010, I was a young idealist who believed that the organization could change the world for the better. I was drawn to WikiLeaks' mission of promoting transparency and accountability, and I believed that by exposing the secrets of the powerful, we could make the world a more just and equitable place.

I quickly learned, however, that WikiLeaks was not a simple organization. It was a complex and often chaotic place, where idealism and pragmatism often clashed. Julian Assange, the organization's founder and editor-in-chief, was a brilliant and charismatic figure, but he was also a deeply flawed individual. He was often paranoid and erratic, and he had a tendency to make decisions based on his own personal whims rather than on the best interests of the organization.

Despite these challenges, I remained committed to WikiLeaks' mission. I believed that the work we were ng was important, and I was determined to make a difference. I worked long hours, often without pay, and I helped to expose some of the most important stories of our time. I was part of the team that released the Collateral Murder video, which showed American soldiers killing Iraqi civilians, and I helped to publish the Guantanamo Bay files, which exposed the torture and abuse of detainees at the US military prison in Cuba.

My time at WikiLeaks was both exhilarating and exhausting. I saw the best and worst of humanity. I worked with some of the most dedicated and courageous people I have ever met, but I also saw the dark side of the organization. I witnessed the toll that the work took on Julian Assange, and I saw how the organization's pursuit of transparency could sometimes come at a great cost.

In 2012, I left WikiLeaks. I had become disillusioned with the organization, and I no longer believed that it was the best way to achieve my goals. I have since gone on to work on other projects, but I have never forgotten my time at WikiLeaks. It was a formative experience that taught me a great deal about the world and about myself. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Julian Assange and the other members of the WikiLeaks team, and I am proud of the work that we did together.
