Mark has been using Drupal since version 5 and joined the Drupal community in 2009. Starting as a general site-builder, he has managed and maintained multiple sites including ones for entire school districts, real estate agencies, photography and several high profile companies.

Over the years, his front-end focus of Drupal has expanded to include some back-end aspects of Drupal. Often referred to as a "unicorn", Mark bridges the gap between implementing beautiful front-end designs and enhancing back-end functionality.

He maintains several highly used contrib projects on drupal.org, including Drupal Bootstrap and Drupal Markdown.

Mark lives in Texas with his husband and dog. Some of their favorite activities include crafting, gaming, camping, hiking, and traveling.

Károly Négyesi, better known in Drupal circles as ChX, has been a Drupal core contributor since 2004. He contributed more patches to core than anyone else and consequently maintains the most core subsystems -- no less than seven. He was the first leader of the security team and is on the team ever since. After scaling NowPublic.com to a Top 500 site by constructing one of the first Drupal-CDN integrations, he met his first real scalability challenge by architecting SCAN, a predictive newsdesk tool for discovering news events before they become mainstream and then following them using sources like Twitter and CNN. For SCAN, he was using MongoDB, a NoSQL database, before the word NoSQL even existed. He was the senior software architect for the re-launched Examiner.com, one of the largest Drupal sites which also based on MongoDB.
