I first joined the Drupal community early in 2006 when I started using Drupal to build the website for the Brazilian percussion ensemble I direct, BateriaLucha.org. I now maintain and collaborate on many contributed modules, including the project module (which powers all of the issue tracking, release management, and revision control integration for drupal.org), the signup module, the update status module (now part of core), and others. I am a member of the Drupal security team, have contributed many patches to core, and am one of the CVS administrators for drupal.org. For more details, you can check out my drupal.org profile. For my day job, I’ve worked for over 10 years as an academic staff researcher on a distributed computing project based at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, called Condor (no, that’s definitely not a Drupal site — yet).
