Drupal Contributions: 

As an active Drupal contributor from 2003 to 2023, I made contributions in many areas of Drupal core and contrib.

I contributed to a Drupal distribution for nonprofits and activist groups, Drutopia. I wrote an article on interoperable Drupal distributions for the 2012 Linux Journal Drupal Special Edition and blog occasionally on Drupal distributions and features development at chocolatelilyweb.ca.

In 2009 I tech led a project sponsored by Sony Music that improved the quality of dozens of major Drupal modules and major multilingual improvements for Drupal core and contrib. I was tech lead for a 2010 site for National Museum of Natural History's Human Origins program.

As well as writing and contributing dozens of modules, I've made contributions to numerous other modules including Views and Internationalization.

I wrote the first version of Drupal core's theme region system, helped write the prototype of what became the core Update module, helped facilitate moving jQuery into Drupal core, co-wrote the Drupal core Javascript behaviors system, and participated in the 2008 design sprint that mapped the way for fields in Drupal core. I wrote some of the basic documentation on Drupal including the original Drupal principles, usability aims, structure, patch acceptance criteria, and tips for contributing and in 2004 I wrote the first version of the Drupal users handbook. As an advisory board member of the Drupal Association I served on the nominating committee for board members and chaired the 2012 election committee.

I worked with digital agencies including CivicActions and Tag1 before cofounding Chocolate Lily.
