Who are you? (biography/background)
I started my career in technology in 2005 and since then I have dedicated myself to staying up to date on the latest information technology industry trends. Throughout my career, I have developed a keen interest in open source technologies, particularly Drupal and WordPress.
Throughout the years, I’ve leveraged my expertise in technology, design, and development to lead projects and configure custom solutions that solve challenging problems. I have managed hundreds of successful projects for clients ranging from small businesses.
I believe strongly in the power of collaboration and sharing. This is why I am heavily involved in the open-source community, leading development teams and contributing to projects.
My goal is to use my expertise and knowledge to help organizations become more successful, productive, and secure.

Since 2012 I have worked in technical roles including Front-End Developer, Tech Lead, and Dev Manager. I fell into Drupal because the possibilities felt endless, the community so capable and inspired. There was always more to learn and even early on, opportunities to give back. 2022 brought a career change for me and I am now a Scrum Master who focuses heavily on Continuous Process Improvement. The title may be different but ultimately, it's just the next step in a long journey through the world of Drupal.
When I am not working or volunteering, I love dismantling electronics and tinkering with Arduinos. One of my more interesting projects involved a mind-controlled RGB LED using tech from a children’s toy. My hope is to continue establishing myself in the community, but to also make time to work on personal projects like this on a more regular basis.

Why are you running for a board seat at the Drupal Association? (mission/motivation)
Been working with Drupal for almost 10 years now but just got involved in the last year with the community and have loved it! Started in bugsmash, helped start needs-review-queue-initative and would like to see how I can continue to give back!
Why should members vote for you? (qualifications)
- Been heavily involved over the last year
- Active on slack and trying to answer community threads
- Tapping into community frustrations and helping resolve those. Think this would be an opportunity to only continue that fantastic work forward!
- Possibly help to start new initiatives to help push Drupal even further.

I have worked with Drupal since 2012, today I work for Acquia as a Technical Account Manager and focus my community efforts in the Houston Drupal User Groups. I have been part of the team organizing DrupalCon Latin America in 2015, a DrupalCamp Colombia in Medellin in 2020, which was stopped due to the CoVid pandemic, and some other events. I have recently rejoined Drupal Colombia to start planning new events in the future and also working with Drupaleros, a Spain lead initiative that is looking to promote Drupal and bring new people to the project and community. I have previously participated in the board elections, and wish to participate again to promote new ideas.
Daddy Boy follows Emerson as he packs into a van full of strangers and drives up and down the country—staying in Days Inns, eating bags of carrots from Walmart, and wanting nothing more than to surrender to the force of a colossal storm. “We had no idea where we were going,” Emerson writes, “just waiting for one cloud to pop.” Roaming the prairie landscape of his childhood, Emerson recalls his adoptive dad, Hank‚ unflinching and extremely Texan, and his biological dad, who was rarely around. From the van’s trash-strewn back seat, and in the face of these looming figures, Emerson begins to wonder: Did he want to be Daddy now?

“I no longer love blue skies. In fact, I now prefer gray skies. The drones do not fly when the skies are gray.” That’s what a young Pakistani boy named Zubair told members of Congress at a hearing on drones in October 2013. That hearing was during the Obama years at a time when the government had barely even acknowledged that an American drone warfare program existed. Two years earlier, however, a Muslim cleric, Anwar Al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman, both American citizens, were killed by U.S. drone strikes in Yemen just weeks apart. Asked to comment on Abdulrahman’s killing, Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs said: “I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if... Read more
Congratulations on your new offspring. I’ve been preparing for this ever since you started waking up to pee every hour. Are you getting tons of sleep advice but no actual sleep? I’m here to help. Trust me, no one is more invested in getting you the rest you need than me, your sleep paralysis demon.
I know you’re not the biggest fan of lying immobilized while I sit on your chest and hiss incantations into your ear or hold a scythe over your sleeping spouse, but things are tough right now, and I need your help. Work exploded during the pandemic. Clinical anxiety and alcohol use were off the charts, and I was working my entire repertoire from multiple demonologies. But before long, every lesser demon with a stage cough was trying to get in the game. Now, the labor market is still saturated, but our client base is dwindling as humans go to therapy and take CBD gummies by the handful. I’m down to you and Mr. Aquino across the street, and the only thing that scares him is his mother-in-law.
