SAL Lakhani
Salim (Sal) Lakhani is the co-founder of DrupalForge.org, GovCMS (US), and DevPanel, and has been a pioneering force in the Drupal community since 2004. His platforms combine the speed of instant Drupal launches with the rigor of compliance-ready infrastructure.
Built on DevPanel, both DrupalForge and GovCMS offer automated cloud environments, GitOps workflows, and AI integrations out-of-the-box—including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini. DevPanel also enables platform-level compliance with FERPA, FedRAMP, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA, making it ideal for higher-ed, government, nonprofit, and enterprise use.
Sal’s 20+ years of experience in DevOps and Kubernetes, he brings together the fastest (DrupalForge), the most secure and compliant (GovCMS), and the most flexible (DevPanel) SaaS platforms together for users to run their sites on any cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean) or any hosting company.
