Jacob joins Acquia after many years of consulting as a system architect and project manager specializing in open source software for non-profits, enterprise software planning and agile development. He started with Drupal in 2006 with CivicActions where he led the effort to build Amnesty International's Drupal site. His work these days is focused around building scalable applications with Amazon Web Services and excellent search products. Originally from Western Massachusetts, he now lives in New Delhi with his wife and tries to get in Celtics games on the internet in the middle of the night, pickup basketball and a bit of fooling around on the guitar while not, against better judgment, tinkering with some bleeding edge FOSS product.
