I am the Associate Director of PHP at Genuine Interactive in Boston MA. I have been working with Drupal for 6+ years, in everything from theming, module development, to full on project architecture. I am active in the Drupal community and submit modules, patches, stack overflow answers and even reddit posts. In my free time I enjoy experimenting with other technologies and techniques such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Python. When not working on the web I enjoy camping, kayaking, rock climbing, playing guitar/banjo, cooking and I am a big fan of Doctor Who.

  • Will this module I found solve my functionality needs?
  • Will I need to patch this module?
  • Should I just write my own custom module?

To quickly and correctly answer these questions, there are four simple steps you should follow. It's as simple as learning how to R.E.A.D.
