About Me
Bio
I am currently a Software Engineer at OTTera. My primary duties involve working on the platform cms to ingest client videos and metadata. Outside OTTera, I dedicate some of my time in working on a freelance basis and, whenever possible, contributing back what I learn and/or create back to the open source community. Right now (and for the past 10 years), that community happens to be Drupal whereby you can find out a lot more about projects where I have contributed back at https://www.drupal.org/u/btmash. Additionally, I've taken on becoming a mentor to other developers/engineers looking for help/advice in their career path. And finally, the weekends are dedicated to spending time with my kiddos.
Projects
Open Source
As mentioned above, I am involved in the Drupal Project where I contribute a fair share of my time withing code in drupal modules or talking about drupal modules / sites. I am a frequent presenter within the LA Drupal Community on topics ranging from case studies to using features to content migration and was chosen in 2014 to represent as a group organizer. Aside from the modules mentioned above, I have also authored and contributed back to core and to numerous other contributed modules. I have a fair amount of experience in understanding the changes that have happened since Drupal 4.6 and have ported numerous modules to be compatible with new drupal core releases.
