When I discovered Drupal 4.7 back in 2008, I realized it would be a game-changing technology in the digital world, and it was! Drupal hasn't only changed how we build digital experiences; it changed my life and my day-to-day work, and made me part of the global Drupal community, which has been an incredible personal and professional experience.
Most of my work has focused on the media industry: I've built large Drupal sites such as major newspaper sites and marketplaces with hundreds of thousands of nodes and millions of monthly visitors. My business background also lets me work closely with clients to advise them on using Drupal to reach their digital-transformation goals and to architect open-source solutions that are intuitive, robust, and efficient.
I'm also an attentive university instructor with strong communication and teaching skills, which is why I love teaching Drupal to beginners and advanced users alike.
As a Drupal evangelist, I've co-organized Drupal Meetups in Montréal and several DrupalCamps across Latin America (Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Panama), and co-founded the Drupal community in Bolivia, where I lived for nearly 30 years.
