2bits

2bits is a custom development company with particular expertise in programming for the Drupal platform. 2bit's Khalid Baheyeldin has built custom modules to create key functionality on several client sites – not to mention helping us with the behind-the-scenes wizardry at SocialSignal.com. We don't know whether his secret is his coding efficiency or his apparent ability to survive without sleep, but Khalid has consistently delivered complex features to exacting requirements in record time. His comprehensive knowledge of the Drupal platform, disciplined approach to project planning and flexibility in addressing emergent issues make him our preferred Drupal programmer.
