Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Boothe is a Creative Director and seasoned frontend/Drupal developer with over 20 years of experience crafting accessible, mobile-first websites and strategic digital communications for nonprofits and advocacy groups. He combines deep Drupal (including Drupal 8) and frontend expertise—Sass, Twig, BEM-style patterns, Pattern Lab—with hands-on CRM integrations (CiviCRM, Salesforce, Salsa) to deliver sites that meet fundraising and organizing goals while remaining easy for nontechnical staff. A natural mentor and communicator, Ivan has led frontend tracks at DrupalCon, co-founded the Genocide Intervention Network, and served on boards and nominating committees that bridge technology and social change. His open-source contributions include modernizing Hugo theme image handling with AVIF/WebP/JXL support and accessibility improvements, reflecting a pragmatic focus on performance and inclusivity. Based in Portland, he blends long-term technical leadership with grassroots campaigning experience, making him as comfortable shipping a component-based design system as shaping online advocacy strategy.
