Bio

In early 2005 I decided to abandon proprietary development frameworks and move towards open source development, in late 2006 I found Drupal and haven't looked back since! I have contributed to the Drupal core project, done theme and module work for groups.drupal.org, develop and co-maintain several modules and submit lots of issues and patches to help make Drupal even better.

I have been been planning, designing, administering and implementing web projects since 1995. I've built sites for an iconic chocolate frog, helped keep regional Victoria up to date with online news, developed a content management system from scratch for the largest private school in the southern hemisphere. Since taking up Drupal I've built sites for Monash University, as a contractor I've helped implement collaborative projects for multinational corporations, state government and more. I also organise monthly Drupal meetups and free mentoring days in Melbourne Australia.
