Christefano is Founder and CEO of Large Robot, a fully integrated, full service Drupal engineering and design firm.
Having created his first weblog in 1994 and quite possibly the world's first built-in searchbox for web browsers in 1996, he continues today as an active developer and innovator. In addition to being a long-time contributor and event organizer in the Drupal community, Christefano contributes to a growing number of Drupal-related projects.
In Los Angeles, he co-founded Droplabs, a network of open source-and developer-friendly coworking spaces in and around Los Angeles, California, which ran from March, 2012 through May, 2016. Christefano was one of the most active organizers in the Los Angeles-area Drupal community, and was a founding member of the Coworking, Time Banking, Greater Los Angeles Drupal, Santa Barbara Drupal, Drupal California, Broward Drupal, Ventura Drupal, Startups and Drupal Fit user groups.
Previous to his current work, he helped organize workshops and conferences for youth and young adults and led discussions about citizen journalism, intellectual property, and online identity and privacy rights. In yet another career, Christefano was a contributing writer and columnist for technology magazines and has been published in Macworld, MacAddict and MacDirectory. Even earlier in life, he was born naked and defenseless and managed to overcome all odds.
In 2006, Christefano was honored by Time Magazine by being selected as Person of the Year.
He now divides his time between Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, California. When in Los Angeles, you can find him flying on the gymnastics traveling rings at Santa Monica Muscle Beach, where he enjoys teaching the gymnastics techniques that are unique to the traveling rings.

I'm the founder and CEO at Large Robot, a fully integrated, full service Drupal design and engineering firm. I'm also one of the founders at Droplabs, a coworking space, classroom and community space in Los Angeles. Droplabs was recently recognized as the World's Top Drupal Location and hosts an enormous amount of Drupal activity, from meetups, code sprints and topic-based summits to paid trainings, our free workshops, tutoring sessions, and our Drupal development boot camp.
In my free time, I help organize Greater Los Angeles Drupal, which is the one of the most active Drupal user group around. We organize the Downtown Drupal, Hollywood Drupal, San Gabriel Valley Drupal and High Performance Drupal meetups, the Los Angeles Drupal job fairs, and GLADCamp, the Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp.
