in 2008 i become in love with the drupal community,
as i just began to work in nicaragua after finishing my bacchelor's degree.
for a whole year i was able to practice speaking spanish
when i was working as a social servant abroad,
and also my technical career was about to change how i never had thought.

lx_barth, xamanu and nedjo rogers were my great mentor geeks,
when i was creating my first multilingual website using drupal 6.
i learned how to do feature-driven development,
using drush, configuring views and being a better friend.
when you submit patches to the issue queue for the rest of them.

my daily business is site building using recruiter,
i create custom features and push them from my computer
into the git repository, doing make files and patches,
so everything stays clean without rough edges.

i began using drupal 7 before it was released,
since then i'm in love with field api cause of entities.
last year i created the distribution austrofeedr,
it maps open data - that's the philosophy there

working in central america was a great source of motivation,
so i was able to combine work interest with a another kind of vaccation.
during my drupal tours centroamerica, I travelled as a teacher,
from nicaragua up to mexico and down to costa rica

which means i like to use drupal for building websites, that's fine
but actually being part of the community and helping each other makes me shine
ahead DrupalCon Munich we organize the Drupal Austria Roadshow,
in order to make sure lots of Austrian attend and our communities grow
