My goal is to help get as many new contributors as possible as obsessed with Drupal as I am. ;) I like building and contributing to tools that make Drupal development easier and Drupal's user experience more friendly to newcomers, and focus on core API improvements to enhance code clarity, quality assurance, documentation, and usability efforts.
