Bio: Gordon is Agileana’s resident Drupal expert. He first worked with the CMS back in 2005 before certifications existed, a time he calls “the Wild West of Drupal.” Now, he’s an Acquia certified Grandmaster in both D7, D8 and working towards his D9 certification. He’s worked on a variety of projects over the last 15 plus years, including maintaining and migrating and maintaining Drupal sites for consultancies, large publishing companies and marketing agencies in Chicago. Before Agileana, he launched and led the Drupal division at a startup in Chicago. He confesses that sometimes he confuses the company’s name, Agileana, with 2010s super-couple, Brangelina.
