Bio: 

A young man who has been working as a full-time professional for the last 7 years, and building websites with Drupal! Started with Drupal 7, and have since grown along with Drupal 8, 9, and now Drupal 10!

I have worked within a variety of areas during this time - from the crucial site-builder role, the complex back-end role, and now recently into the creative front-end role. While I have been primarily a developer, I assisted Project Managers throughout each project to ensure requirements and deliverables were reviewed, build requirements were defined and properly scoped out, while also supporting by transitioning into actionable tickets. How many pages of documentation have I written or how many training meeting have I led? Who knows!

For projects, I have worked across all levels, each with its own situation and solutions. The most notable to date would still be the Napoleon (Wolf Steel) project with Digital Echidna, prior to the sale to Northern Commerce, as it was the most memorable learning experience. Check out the case study! We won an Acquia Engage Award.

For recent Drupal projects were I was one of the core developers (building/theming/configuration/content creation), check out Standford Humanities, and The Franklin Institute or The SSF Hub which recently launched!
