Sam Boyer is Senior Performance Engineer for Tag1 Consulting. Besides numerous site builds, he was an initiative co-lead for Drupal 8, architected the Git hosting platform that runs Drupal.org, and worked extensively on Panels and CTools. He strives to reduce Drupal’s rampant complexity through devops, testing, and software architecture best practices.

Randy is a long-time Linux lover, developer, and Drupal addict. He's done everything from TRS-80 and Apple ][ development through Solaris kernel work in 'C' to Drupal 7 core development and the Examples project. All along he's loved servers, networking and reliable, predictable best practices, so infrastructure and DevOps are now his focus.

In his spare time he does lots of mountain biking and hiking in beautiful western Colorado.  His formal education includes a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Denver.

Jeremy founded Tag1 Consulting in 2007. He has been a contributing core Drupal developer since 2002, and helped establish Drupal as a successful CMS through the early popularity of his personal blog, KernelTrap.org. Over the years, he authored and maintained the core statistics module and throttle module, as well as the pager logic and the initial Drupal 5 installer. He continues to contribute to the Drupal caching layer, offers optimizations to the bootstrap process, and maintains a high performance patchset. He actively maintains numerous Drupal modules including the spam module, the support module, the ad module, and the dba module. Beyond Drupal, Jeremy is a networking guru that has maintained the source code for a UNIX-kernel based, EAL5+ certified, commercial firewall.
