About Me

I asked ChatGPT to tell me a joke about Drupal. On its third try, it got pretty close with this one: 

Why do Drupal developers make great detectives?
Because they are experts at tracking down elusive bugs and solving mysterious website issues!

In my twenty-plus years of web development across multiple platforms, I have fixed many elusive bugs and untangled all sorts of website mysteries. I have developed a particular knack for fixing websites that suffer from a whole list of maladies – from out-of-date software to poorly-documented custom code to installs with hacks to Core (gasp!). Along the way, I have developed an expertise in Drupal with a particular interest in Backdrop (an off-shoot of Drupal 7). 

I invite you to peruse my portfolio below (still under construction). Contact me to talk about potential partnerships and tips for getting the skin just right on your BBQ Chicken.
