Elijah Lynn (elijah lynn)

I consider myself a humanitarian, environmentalist and technologist. I love working with open source projects specifically Ubuntu (GNU/Linux), Inkscape, GIMP, PHP, MySQL, Git, & of course Drupal! I think the Drupal community is amongst the most robust and respectful of all the open source communities I have been involved in.

I started using Ubuntu around 2007/2008 and from there have progressed to utilizing it for everything I do. I built my first website in 1999, in 2002 went on to become a locksmith for 5 years and in 2008 political activism pushed me to form a team to launch the Ron Paul Blimp for that election season. (I am now politically apathetic again & think the voting system needs a major overhaul before any real change can take place. My political activism will probably be spent in that area when I get charged again.) I started using Drupal in late 2008 after using Joomla for a year or so prior to that.

I taught myself PHP in 2012 and then really dug into learning JavaScript in late 2013. I became a senior software engineer at NBCUniversal in 2012 where I was on one of the largest enterprise Drupal teams in the world. I contributed to a large amount of Drupal sites such as SyFy, Telemundo, USA, Bravo, Sprout, NBC.com etc.
