He is a hands on technologist and has spent over 10 years in the US working in technology firms. His key functions are technical architecture, technology mentoring and internal training, resource planning, and overseeing all projects and project managers.
This Open Source Evangelist is extremely serious. How serious you ask?
He obtained a PhD in theoretic Quantum Physics (aka stuff only he understands) But then Dries 'Drupal' Buytaert asked him for DRUPAL.be - and Roel said yes.
Known for his communication skills and no-nonsense style (make it work - and keep it running) he comes up with solutions for problems the client has never even thought of. He also provides all Krew members with shoulder taps and weekly massages. After all, Drupal is about sharing, isn't it?
I recently joined the staff at Advantage Labs, making the change from an independent developer to account manager and cat-herder. Looking forward to my first DrupalCon!
