Evan Layton’s career is rooted in a deep appreciation for technology and its power to shape the future. From the very beginning, he was drawn to how tech continually pushes the world forward, and he saw software development not just as a profession, but as a way to be part of that momentum.
At Agileana, Evan wears multiple hats—serving as a web developer, business analyst, and at times project manager. His multiple roles place him at the intersection of leadership and development, where he’s responsible for guiding project execution and writing the code that brings ideas to life.
Throughout his career, Evan has achieved several significant milestones. He played a central role in the successful upgrade of FCC.gov from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9, and again to Drupal 10—projects that required meticulous planning, execution, and a deep understanding of modern web frameworks. He also earned his Drupal 10 Site Builder certification, underscoring his commitment to staying current with evolving technologies.
Evan’s growth has also been shaped by formative experiences—some challenging, but ultimately transformational. One of the most memorable was deploying his very first bug to production. The lesson it taught him about accountability and attention to detail left a lasting impression, transforming him into a developer who truly cares about the quality and impact of every product he delivers. Another pivotal moment came during a large-scale site upgrade that tested the limits of coordination and perseverance. It revealed just how much effort goes into major digital transformations—effort that’s often invisible from the outside but vital to success.
Evan is guided by principles that reflect both discipline and foresight. He believes that true leadership lies in the ability to anticipate problems before they escalate. His approach is rooted in precision: “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast” is more than a mantra—it’s a strategy. He also lives by the idea that “the best way to predict the future is to implement it,” a mindset that drives his proactive and solution-oriented work ethic.
In every role he takes on, Evan combines technical depth with calm leadership. He’s not only focused on building and maintaining complex systems—he’s committed to building trust, delivering value, and creating digital products that stand the test of time.
