Happy 4-year Kalaversary to Kristina Kaminski, who started building websites at 8 and never stopped. Designer turned developer. Calm under pressure. Sees the clue hidden in the mess. Abnormally exceptional, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Cheers to more years of abnormal brilliance!

Some people find the light. She builds the switch. Our Director of Technology who'd still call herself a Drupal Developer. She taught herself to code, then to lead, then made sure everyone around her could do the same. Curious, steady, and always learning. Cheers!

Happy 12-year Kalaversary to Ken! Ask what he does and he'll shrug, "a bunch of admin stuff." Invoices, HR, events, travel, marketing, MCing meetings. What that means: the rest of us do what we love because Ken's in the background handling everything around it. Cheers to more years of being Kenough!
