Six Feet Up

As the senior developer at Six Feet Up, I work closely with Plone. Our projects typically demand that we stay up-to-date with the latest technologies. Because of this, I have an intimate knowledge of many parts of Plone and its surrounding ecosystem. I have been presenting at Plone events since 2006, where I gave a talk at the North American Plone Symposium. I have since given talks and tutorials on a variety of topics ranging from buildout to PEP8.
