Newton

David leads with communication and empathy while fostering meaningful partnerships with our mission-driven organizations as Kalamuna’s Senior Support Manager. Not only can he hold his own with WordPress, he is also a Drupal expert with more than 20 years of experience building, breaking (and fixing) Drupal websites. David’s contributions to the open-source community are impressive: he’s collaborated with Human Rights Watch, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, Stanford University, Cornell University, and Médecins Sans Frontières, to name a few. His passion lies in delivering online products for high-impact organizations. When he is not busy cheering on the Montreal Canadiens or dominating the Guardian cryptic crossword, David spends his time out and about with his son and dog in the woods.
