Kelly has been working with DNN since version 1.0. Like any good (read: lazy) programmer, Kelly has always wanted to do things faster and more efficiently. That motivated him to create XMod and later XMod Pro for creating applications in DNN without programming and all the boilerplate code that entails. Fortunately, other people thought it was pretty cool and the resulting sales have kept him awash in Mountain Dew since 2004. In 2016, tiring of the constant clicking and page loads involved in managing his websites, Kelly created Prompt, a command line for DNN. Prompt was donated to the DNN Platform in 2017 and was officially integrated in 2018 as part of DNN 9.2. Kelly is project lead for the DNN Documentation project and a DNN MVP.
