Re: [dcphp-dev] Introductions

Hey everybody!

I'm Brock Boland, and as Sandy said, I keep the recruiter spam at bay :-)

I've been coding PHP full-time since late 2005, and just for fun before that. Since late 2009, I've been working almost exclusively with Drupal. I joined Lullabot as a developer back in the spring, and a couple months ago I started co-organizing the DC Drupal meetup group. I'm currently trying to re-work that group a bit to make it more like DC PHP, actually: right now, we meet once a month for lightning talks and drinks at Stetson's, up on U Street, but I've been pushing to have monthly presentations like this group does. It's looking like that will happen in the next month or two, so if you're a Drupal developer who never wanted to come hang out in a bar, I hope you'll check us out again: we'll be announcing different kinds of events pretty soon!

I didn't mean to turn that into a promo for the Drupal group, but…well, it happens.

It's been a good long while since everybody on the list has introduced themselves and said what they do. This will help us know who's on the list and give new people an idea of the range of talent they have to draw on by asking questions of the list.

I'll kick it off:

I'm Sandy Smith, and I organize DCPHP along with Barry Austin (DC Beverage Subgroup) and Brock Boland (He Who Keeps This List Free of Recruiter Spam).

I've been working with PHP since '99. I'm a child of the 80's and grew up on BASIC (C-64) and then tried my hand at other professions before settling on tech. Most of my career has been spent consulting (mostly building/configuring CMSes, both custom and Drupal) for DC-area clients, especially nonprofits, but recently I've been more in the startup world. I was a cofounder of mojoLive.com and have a new company that does both consulting and products called Muskteers.me. We just started a Kickstarter for two new products if you want to check it out: http://kck.st/QjQZho
