Bio: 

I've been making websites for nearly as long as the Web's been around, for major media, non-profit, and government clients. As the web got more specialized after the early "webmaster" days, I originally focused on content development and project management. Discovering Drupal in 2010 got me back into PHP development, and I'm now a senior developer at Bixal, mostly working on big dot-gov sites.

Drupal Contributions: 

In my earlier Drupal days, I worked on the D7 port of the Salsa API module and other modules for the Salsa CRM. More recently, I've contributed the Role Log module for D8, which logs user role grants and revocations. As time permits, I also write patches for Drupal core and help out in the issue queues.
