I've also organised Drupal events such as the Drupal Bristol meetup and DrupalCamp Bristol conference. + +I've had opportunities to contribute to open-source by having patches committed to Drupal core and maintaining modules and themes like [Override Node Options](https://www.drupal.org/project/override_node_options) and the [Tailwind CSS starter kit](https://www.drupal.org/project/tailwindcss). I've also mentored and helped others to get their first commits to Drupal core and open-source. + +I plan to continue working with Drupal and being part of the community for a long time, hopefully for at least another 22 years.
