Drupal

I have a comprehensive knowledge of Drupal—a leading open-source CMS—with particular focus on the frontend and Drupal theming. Experience I've been working with Drupal since version 4.6 (you can find me on drupal.org as laurencemercer) and have built and themed many Drupal-based sites, including michaeljackson.com and jimihendrix.com. My work includes day-to-day use of core, contributed, and custom modules, and I'm fully conversant with the Drupal API, Drush, Composer, and the command line.
