Nic's first Drupal project was in 2007 (Drupal v4.7!) and he's been using it ever since. He's an Acquia Certified Drupal 8 developer, active in the Drupal community, a regular contributor to Drupal core, and many contributed modules. Nic has worked with some of the best digital agencies in the UK and has a lot of experience in the government, non-profit, and charity sectors. Equally comfortable leading a project team as he is working alone, he's looking forward to learning how he can help you.

Enable Interactive

- Built and scaled a Drupal offering for big international NGOs including Greenpeace, WWF, and Red Cross.
Experience
Replatforming of gov.wales
