Drupal developers come from all walks of life, each bringing unique experiences and perspectives to their careers. In this panel discussion, three Drupal developers with diverse backgrounds—a stay-at-home parent, a conflict resolution professional, and a coding bootcamp graduate—share their stories of how they transitioned into web development and found meaning in their careers.

Each panelist will discuss their distinct journey into Drupal web development, highlighting the challenges they faced, the skills they gained, and the opportunities they’ve received from a career in Drupal. This session will not only discuss how each individual gained the skills and knowledge needed to have a successful career in Drupal, but also how their unique backgrounds provided them with non-technical skills that made them more successful and well-rounded developers on their teams.
