      <p>On Sunday, the Drupal project turned 22 years old.</p>

      <p>I've personally been working with Drupal primarily for almost 15 years <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/opdavies">according to my Drupal.org profile</a>, self teaching and working on personal and freelance projects since 2007, and in full-time roles since 2010 when I started at Horse and Country TV to work on their Drupal 6 website.</p>

      <p>Last month, I started my first Drupal 10 project for a client.</p>

      <p>I'm proud that over a year of that time was spent working for the Drupal Association where I improved the Drupal.org websites and resolved issues that would have blocked the Drupal 8 release in 2015.</p>

      <p>I'm also happy to have <a href="/presentations">presented talks and workshops</a> at events like DrupalCamps, Drupal Developer Days and twice at DrupalCon. I've also organised Drupal events such as the Drupal Bristol meetup and DrupalCamp Bristol conference.</p>

      <p>I've had opportunities to contribute to open-source by having patches committed to Drupal core and maintaining modules and themes like <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/override_node_options">Override Node Options</a> and the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/tailwindcss">Tailwind CSS starter kit</a>. I've also mentored and helped others to get their first commits to Drupal core and open-source.</p>

      <p>I plan to continue working with Drupal and being part of the community for a long time, hopefully for at least another 22 years.</p>
