#  Adam Varn 

 Senior Front-end Developer

 Tampa, FL

- He
- Him

Adam Varn is a front-end developer who built his first website in 1997 when he launched “Adam’s Game Reviews” for a local ISP portal. The ISP paid him in video games. To earn actual money for his work, he started building sites in HTML and Cold Fusion.

In 2008, he began creating his first Drupal themes, learning the ins and outs of Drupal site-building and configuration. Before joining Lullabot, he ran his own [Drupal development](https://www.lullabot.com/resource/drupal-development) company, where he helped solve problems for non-profits, advocacy organizations, local government, and educational institutions.

Adam’s past clients know him as a clear and timely communicator. This trait and his dedication to front-end development have made him a sought-after resource throughout the Florida Drupal community and beyond. He is a co-founder of his local Drupal Meetup group and is a frequent speaker at Florida DrupalCamp, becoming a co-organizer in 2020.

Notable accomplishments of Adam's are his leading the [City of Tampa website](https://www.tampa.gov/) rebuild project as a front-end developer and working as lead developer for [FAU Foundation, Inc](https://fauf.fau.edu/).

Adam lives in Tampa with his wife Lisa, their two children, and four cats - Bisque, Elton John, Tina Turner and Blondie. When not tweaking that one last CSS property, Adam enjoys keeping up with the news, board games with friends, watching college football and soccer from around the world, and binge-watching TV shows and movies across the many, many streaming services out there.
