- Bio
I've got a diverse background in industrial electronics, print design and production, systems administration and web development.
I started working with PHP and MySQL in 1997 when I needed to manage web content delivery to subscribers for a small press magazine I was publishing. I gradually started helping others with similar projects and gradually migrated over to being a full time web developer.
Drupal entered my life in late 2007 while I was working with a friend on a social networking site. Drupal seemed solid enough for the foundation of what we needed but it was a hair pulling experience to say the least trying to theme certain aspects of the site. (I hacked core on that one)
In Jan 2008 the same friend was working with Mediacurrent on a large Drupal project and asked if I'd lend a hand. I officially drank the Drupal Koolaid with that project and ended up becoming a regular employee with Mediacurrent a couple of months later and now I'm the senior developer.
I can say I haven't been bored a single day since I started working with Drupal. Of course that's a mixed blessing at times.
