Joining Acquia!
Posted on Wed, mei 14, 2008 by Paul Lovvik
I have joined Acquia! I am excited to be joining Acquia for two reasons: 1. I have never joined a startup before, and I cannot think of a better opportunity to work with a group of smart and dedicated people; 2. the vast majority of my work so far has been spent developing proprietary software and I see this as a tremendous opportunity to spend more time with open source software.
I am coming from Openwave Systems, Inc. where I spent most of my time working on the JavaScript front end of a highly scalable email system. I hope to bring the expertise I developed at Openwave to the Drupal community.

Paul is being modest.
When we interviewed him, we all without reservation said "This guy is great; we need to hire him fast."
He blew us away with his level of Javascript expertise - knowing what's possible, but more importantly he knew its technical idiosyncrasies cold. We think he'll be able to contribute a ton of Javascript expertise to the Drupal community (once he gets his arms around Drupal - which we don't think will take long, he's such a smart guy.) I know I personally look forward to seeing how he can help the community unpage Drupal.
Welcome, Paul.
