BIO
I entered Geekdom as a fifth grader in 1983 with a Commodore 64 & a 300baud connection to CompuServe. 31 years later I started the Indiana Drupal Users Group & develop websites in Drupal and teach Drupal full-time.
Catch my blog at www.DougVann.com. Google "Drupal Song," and you're likely to find a few videos of me, jamming on the guitar, unabashedly proclaiming my passion for Drupal!
My love for learning and experimenting in Drupal is overshadowed only by my love to teach and evangelize it. I have presented in Minneapolis, Toronto, Indianapolis, Ohio LinuxFest, DoItWithDrupal, and DrupalCamps in New York City, Madison, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Charlotte, Chicago, Orlando, Nashville, Chattanooga, Denver, etc.
You can often find me on the FREENODE IRC Network in Drupal-support helping people get through the learning curve of Drupal.
I reside in Indianapolis, Indiana with my wife of 18 years, & our 4 children.
Specialties: Individual training, Corporate training, Module development, Project discovery, Information architecture, Site Development.
Being a good geek is not enough in this high-tech era. I understand that technology means business & business means money. Wether I'm training you, building your project for you, or building your project with you, I understand that you have expectations that the final product will deliver solutions and positively impact your business.
I make sure that happens.

Hey there! I'm Scott Engemann and I'm so glad you're taking some time to learn more about me!
From a young age I've always been fascinated by building things with legos (that may or may not be true to this day). Having a thought in your head and being able to bring that idea out into the physical world still excites me. I've found that front-end web development was the perfect way to express this love that I have. Over the years of experience and witnessing the evolution of the web, I have grown with a more sophisticated desire to bring the best experience to users.
To paraphrase Liam Neeson from the movie "Taken" - "I obtained a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a dream for people like you to work with."
- Angular: I have worked with every version of Angular from the glory days of AngularJS (think of this as version 1) all the way to the latest release at this time of Angular 19
- MEAN Stack Development: I love that I'm able to develop both front-end and back-end systems to create web applications. MEAN stack has really helped me venture into writing RESTful APIs
- Data Visualization: With the help of HighCharts, I discovered that DATA IS BEAUTIFUL... Or at least, it can be. It's astonishing to see something as simple a numbers be translated into eye-pleasing charts and elegant graphs to better explain the meaning of the 1's and 0's.
Let me be frank enough to tell you all that I absolutely love Drupal and the slogan of my company is "We Eat, Sleep and Breathe Drupal".I have over 9 years of Web Development experience with over 7 years in Drupal Training and Drupal Development and site architecture. I am both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 Acquia Certified Developer. I have been part of or built complex Drupal Applications over the years.
Learning to code can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
I’m a Full-Stack Web Developer and Fractional CXO with 15+ years of experience, and I help learners turn confusion into clarity and ideas into real, working projects.
I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from UC San Diego, where I fell in love with the balance between creativity and logic, a foundation that now shapes how I teach and build.
I founded Goldlilys Media after building dozens of websites for nonprofits, museums, wellness brands, and cultural organizations.
Along the way, I discovered something important: people learn best when they understand why something works, not just how to copy it.

I'm an experienced full-stack developer who has been working as a freelancer for over 10 years now.
Right now I'm focused a lot on developing with Elixir, but most of my time I have spent working on projects with PHP. I love creating software that's usable, testable and maintainable.
Front-end wise my current framework of choice is VueJS.
My projects range from short term projects for smaller customers to bigger and longer projects with bigger companies. My working times are rather flexible, so I don't have a problem working something out that fits me and my clients.
I look forward to working with you!
