Currently, I'm building a software company called SprintReview AI (https://sprintreview.ai). SprintReview AI attempts to lower the reporting burden on software teams by automating progress reporting.

Previously I was Head of Product at AWS GameTech and previous to that I was at Acquia as Product Director for Platform Infrastructure. At Acquia, I also held the role of Product Manager for Lightning, an enterprise authoring distribution of Drupal, and Acquia's D8 Module Acceleration Program (D8 MAP), $500k of funding being allocated to D8 acceleration projects. I feel very privileged to be able to have affected change directly in Drupal and the module eco-system on a daily basis while I was at Acquia and to be able to have worked with some of the most devoted and experienced people in the Drupal community.

I love the philosophy of Drupal. Massive-scale collaboration within a community of people dedicated to quality, open communication, inclusion, and fun. An open-source movement that values not only its developers, but also its site-builders and authors. An extensible, modular framework that can be used to build complex systems and integrated architectures.

Since I started my journey with Drupal in 2006 I have been continually impressed by the people who I have met in the community and their passion for Drupal. Some of my favorite conversations have been after midnight at DrupalCon.

I first started working with Drupal when a non-profit youth news organization called Vibewire asked me to look at their website. They had a Drupal 4.7 installation weighed down by a ton of modules. It was breaking all the time, it wouldn’t scale with high traffic and had lots of bugs in the custom code. I was appalled and started to believe the FUD about Drupal, but I kept reading and started on a long journey to understanding Drupal.

Eventually I started my own Drupal shop where we specialized in commerce and built large transactional sites with heavy infrastructure on Pressflow and eventually Drupal Commerce. From there I moved on to become Regional Director for Commerce Guys in the UK. After that I came to Acquia and was head of Solutions Architecture in Europe before moving to Boston and into Product.

I’ve been a speaker at Drupal events in Boston, Helsinki, London, Manchester, Melbourne, New York and Rome, I’ve helped organize DrupalCamp London 3 years in a row, I’ve run BOF sessions at DrupalCon and numerous Drupal trainings. I’ve also advised Drupal startups and hired tons of Drupal community members. Outside of Drupal I have written my own PHP applications in other frameworks and helped to build core internet infrastructure using open-source software at APNIC, a large non-profit that allocates IP addresses for the Asia-Pacific.
