Domenic Santangelo : Senior Drupal Engineer

Domenic brings to the table more than a decade of web development background, including HTML, CSS, Flash and ActionScript, PHP, Javascript, and more. Domenic’s the maintainer on several Drupal modules including the all-new Amazon Associates Services import module.

While trudging through an undergraduate Political Science degree at the University of California at Davis, Domenic worked for a successful start-up web hosting firm doing high-level technical support on their LAMP platform. It was there he cut his teeth on web hosting concepts, and honed his HTML, PHP and CSS skills.

After a really long and boring graduation ceremony, Domenic went to work for some outfit known as Clear Channel Radio, developing PHP web applications, integrating new media, developing new web strategies for a fledgling media industry, and doing human interface design on the Sacramento cluster of radio stations’ web sites. Being in charge of 4 web sites with combined daily traffic over more than 200,000 unique visitors monthly isn’t a bad gig right out of school.

After winding through a brief but successful freelancing stint, and working for a non-profit law firm doing web development, Domenic landed at WorkHabit, where he’s deeply involved in professional services and building successful client companies.

Domenic’s non-programming interests include motorcycles, single-speed bicycles, poker (which he began playing BEFORE it was trendy), LOLcats and other internet memes. Domenic is also an accomplished musician, having been in several radio-aired bands. He plays guitar, clarinet, saxophone, harmonica, bass guitar, and can sequence passably. Domenic can be found wherever Cloves are sold.
