About

My name is Alan Burke I'm a Drupal developer and themer currently working for Proactive Design and Marketing in Galway.

I've been using Drupal since late 2005, first using version 4.6 to get my first iteration of www.athenryac.com online. This project brought me back into the website development field, after wandering away to become a Network Adminstrator and PC technician.

Before joining Proactive I worked at CompuSquad as a techie, before getting back into website development at the end of my time there.

I spent 3 years in Australia, most of it working at the University of Queensland, picking up my Masters in Ecommerce along the way. My graduation dovetailed nicely with the dot-com bubble bursting, so that's how I ended up as a network administrator for a while.

And before all that, I studied in Commerce and German at National University of Ireland, Galway, where I learned of the Internet, first cut my teeth on website development, and started to loath Internet Explorer.
I still do.
