Steven Jackson

Steven Jackson has been involved in the open source community and Linux systems since 2001, and has been working with Drupal since version 5. His contributions to Drupal include hosting and presenting monthly Drupal User Group meetings and travelling around the southeastern United States to present a multitude of topics at various Drupal and Linux conferences. He has also co-authored two contributed modules on Drupal.org. His Drupal specialties are in module development and configuration and deploying the LAMP stacks upon which the sites reside.

Steven's background is in traditional computer science, with a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Augusta State University and a master’s degree in applied computer science from Kennesaw State University. His strong foundation in computer science has allowed him to work on a vast array of projects ranging from online publishing to emergency management software in languages from ASP.Net to Zend PHP. Proper code management, including use of design patterns, utilizing objects, and version controlling, is Steven’s raison d'être. He is a stickler for detail while maintaining view of the big picture.

When not working in Drupal, Steven enjoys studying bioinformatics and biostatistics, and playing hockey with his kid.
