Jody Hamilton
Jody leads all development at Zivtech. She has been a full-time Drupal developer since 2006 when she entered the project at Drupal 4.7. Jody began her web career with independent PHP and CSS work. She worked freelance for Canary Promo + Design building Drupal websites, developing Drupal modules, theming Drupal websites, teaching Drupal, and consulting Drupal website builders. Working independently on projects where she 'wore all the hats', Jody became an expert in all things Drupal, including APIs and code development, theming and CSS work, architecture and site building, and module selection. Contributing to Drupal core and contributed modules has been an on-going and significant part of her work. Jody continues to contribute modules and patches, including core patches to the Drupal platform (Jody's contributions).
Jody graduated from Harvey Mudd College in 2000. Prior to joining the world of open source web development she worked as an analytical chemist for the pharmaceutical industry and as a high school math teacher. Her scientific approach and education background are both useful in her current work.
Jody lives in rural Pennsylvania with her boyfriend, his two girls, and her three cats. When not at work in Philadelphia she can usually be found driving to work in Philadelphia.
