Marc DeLay

Why Drupal:

“It’s the most flexible and powerful CMS. Other things might be more flexible and more powerful, but Drupal is so broad in its possible applications that anything that might beat it out is much more vertical.”

Experience:

“My previous experience of building and maintaining LowesforPros.com really fits my work here -- it was a high-exposure, high-user load site.”

What Drives Me:

“Having happy clients! Especially if they’ve asked for some feature and I throw something together and the clients says, ‘Wow!’ -- that’s the cat’s meow.”

What Inspires Me:

“Being part of this company -- this whole floor is just magical to me!”
