Joel Farris’s Summary
Drupal CMS developer and themer, with a strong propensity for training and education of clients, coders, and community members alike. Heavily involved in the Drupal Dojo training system. Patch contributor and tester for both the core Drupal framework and the contributed modules repository. Technical reviewer for multiple Drupal books covering various aspects of this fabulous framework.
I believe in the ideals of the open source Drupal community so much that I donate several hours of my own time each week to educating and training and helping the community via the #drupal-support IRC channel.

Senior Technical Architect
WorkHabit
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
July 2008 — December 2008 (6 months)
Workhabit has asked me to open a San Diego office and to join them in their quest for world Drupal domination, so I'm going for it! We'll be working out of a short term office space as we look for that perfect spot to house not only ourselves and our playtoys, but also the local Drupal user Group meetups.
UPDATE: We found our perfect office space in Downtown San Diego, and dude! is it cool! Wait till we get it decked out, then come over and see us! I'm soooooo happy right now!
UPDATE: There will be no office opening in San Diego after all. The S.D. offices are officially closed. -

Drupal Consultant
PepperAlley
(Internet industry)
October 2007 — October 2007 (1 month)
Providing a specialized subset of services to the Drupal development houses that are floundering under a mire of missing information, documentation, and direction, the PepperAlley Collective aims to develop, deploy, and manage both the needs of existing companies who desire help and the unrealized needs of web users who haven't yet discovered the Drupal framework or couldn't afford to have their own custom site developed even if they had.
Re-usable code that supports a repeatable product. That's the extensible vision of the PepperAlley Collective.
