Eileen McNaughton
Eileen has a put-my-hand-to-anything type of IT background, having worked as a Domain Administrator in a multi-sited Windows environment before moving into a role as a Network Engineer at a telco.
Her web development career began through setting up a joomla e-commerce site for her own business and then setting up Drupal / CiviCRM for Wellington Circus Trust.
Since then she has become a sought-after person within the CiviCRM community particularly for her work with Payment Processors and Event Aggregate Search. Her greatest IT talent stems from having worked in administration first and having a commitment to documentation, developing processes, and contributing to and organising existing knowledge. Her knowledge of accounts & accounting systems has also proven beneficial in the context of civiCRM and our project of integrating it with Xero.
