    I have had informal training in web design and creation - having worked as both a web developer and systems administrator as early as 1997. My interests in Drupal lie in usability (having contributed to some of the patches going into Drupal 7) and front-end set-up and theming. I'm also a consultant with regards to project management and troubleshooting schema plans with respect to Drupal and other projects.
