Steve Harley

Steve (drupal.org user garbanzito) studied computer science and English at Yale University, and worked at Yale in artificial intelligence and operations research. He then moved to Boulder and spent several years alternating between software development and the publishing industry, ultimately combining both fields—consulting and training on complex publishing workflows, and on developing tools for publishing automation.

After a four year hiatus in Minnesota working on larger database systems Steve returned to Colorado, settled in Denver and built up a consultancy. His general strengths include database design, dynamic scripting languages and project analysis. He strives to use flexible, efficient methods in the agile development family.

Steve has been involved with web development as a sideline since 1996. As a neighborhood activist installing and maintaining an assortment of simple community websites, Steve encountered Drupal in 2006 and it stood out as an environment and a community that suited him in many ways. Drupal became Steve's professional focus in 2008.
