She started doing PHP/MySQL web programming professionally around 2002, and set up her first Drupal web site in 2007.

She continued working as a freelance Drupal site builder and module programmer, the volunteer maintainer of several Drupal modules, the co-organizer of the Spokane (WA) Drupal User Group, co-maintainer of the Drupal User Guide, and the Drupal Core maintainer/committer for API documentation and coding standards through September of 2021.
