Hi, I'm Oliver Davies (aka <a href="https://www.google.com/#q=opdavies">opdavies</a>). I’m a {{ site.work.role }} at <a href="{{ site.work.company.url }}?utm_source=oliverdavies.uk&amp;utm_medium=about">{{ site.work.company.name }}</a> and a freelance Web Developer and System Administrator, based in Wales, UK.

I’ve been a Developer since 2007 and specialise in using Drupal, Symfony, and Vue.js. I use Ansible and Docker for server provisioning and application deployments.

I’m an <a href="https://certification.acquia.com/user/1647756">Acquia certified</a> Drupal 8 Grand Master, and was a Developer for the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/association">Drupal Association</a> working on the <a href="https://www.drupal.org">Drupal.org</a> websites.

I regularly <a href="/talks">give talks</a> at user groups and conferences, and am the current organiser of the <a href="https://www.phpsouthwales.uk">PHP South Wales</a> user group.

I contribute to open source and maintain a variety of different projects. You can see these on my <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/opdavies">Drupal.org</a> and <a href="https://github.com/opdavies">GitHub</a> accounts.
