Daniel Sipos is a senior web developer specializing in Drupal. He has been working with Drupal sites since version 6 and started, like many others, as a site builder. He's a self-taught programmer with many years of experience in working professionally on complex Drupal 7 and 8 projects. In his spare time, he runs webomelette.com, a Drupal website where he writes technical articles, tips, and techniques related to Drupal development.

Todd Zebert has been involved with Drupal since shortly after the launch of version 6. He is a full stack web developer, is proficient in a variety of technologies, and is currently a lead web developer for Miles. He has also been a technical reviewer for the Packt books Developing with Drush and Drupal 8 Development Cookbook, and the related video series Drupal 8 Development Solutions.
He's a frequent presenter at conferences on Drupal, JavaScript, and frontend technologies. He has a technology blog at Medium.

Todd has a diverse background in technology, including infrastructure, network engineering, project management, and IT leadership. His experience with web development started shortly after the release of the original Mosaic graphical web browser, with SHTML/CGI and Perl.

Todd is an entrepreneur and is involved with the Los Angeles start-up community. He's a believer in volunteering, open sourcing, the Maker movement, and contributing back. He's also an advocate for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education.

Tracy Charles Smith began working with computers at the age of 10 years. His background includes network support, web development, customer service, project management, and financial management.

His entrepreneurial spirit is a key component to his success in interacting with clients and team members on business and user-experience related technology solutions. In fact, he used that passion to found his own technology-consulting firm called Alpha Geek Tech, LLC. He also served as the technology director for Quiddities Dev. Inc., in Santa Cruz, CA, before moving back to the DC area to join Phase2 in 2010 as a senior developer. Tracy now works as a senior project manager at Phase2, supporting growth and support clients in government and private enterprise. His diverse development background complements his project management skills.

Tracy was also the lead programmer and architect for 12seconds.tv in 2007 (a video messaging platform), which leveraged Drupal. He also authored Drupal Intranets with Open Atrium.

He earned a BS in computer information systems and business administration from Wingate University.
