Kevin Quillen Becomes the First Acquia Triple Certified Drupal 10 Expert in the U.S.
We’re proud to announce that Velir’s Drupal Practice Lead, Kevin Quillen, has earned his Acquia Triple Certified Drupal 10 Expert certification! Kevin is the first and only person in the United States to receive this certification for Drupal 10 so far!
To gain his Acquia Triple Certified Drupal 10 Expert credential, Kevin completed and passed the Acquia Certified Developer, Acquia Certified Back-End Specialist, and Acquia Certified Front-End Specialist exams. He knows the exam process quite well since he received his Acquia Triple Certified Drupal 9 Expert certification in 2021 and Drupal 7 certification in 2016.
"Kevin Quillen, Velir's Drupal Practice Lead, is a continued source of inspiration. He constantly pushes himself, our clients, and the Drupal platform forward with his innovative ideas and contributions. We are so proud to have the first Acquia Triple Certified Drupal 10 expert in the United States on our team."
This exciting news comes on the heels of Drupalcon 2023 in Pittsburgh, PA, where the OpenAI module that Kevin created for Drupal 10 was prominently featured in Dries Buytaert’s keynote address. Kevin’s blog post on how to create Drupal Recipes was also used as an instructional guide at a conference workshop.
In addition to being an Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert in Drupal 9 and 10, Kevin is Acquia-certified in Acquia Site Studio and Acquia Cloud Platform. You’ll be able to hear him chat more about his expertise on an upcoming podcast with Matt Glaman, Talking Drupal, hosted by John Picozzi later this month. Be sure to check it out!
