A longtime Drupal architect, trainer, and systems designer, Wayne combines web and infrastructure expertise with practical automation engineering honed across e-commerce, print-on-demand, and operations-heavy businesses. Notably, his pragmatic approach focuses on building automation on a solid foundation so clients avoid the common pitfalls of premature AI adoption.
