Mike Herchel is a front-end developer that’s been developing with Drupal for over 13 years. He is the primary organizer and lead developer for the Olivero initiative, which aims to create a new default front-end theme for Drupal core.

Upon accepting the nomination, Mike replied, “I’m thrilled to have the privilege to join the board of the Drupal Association! During this time, I intend to advocate for better usability on Drupal.org and focus on smaller scale Drupal websites to help make our community as strong, diverse, and thriving as possible.”
