Gerhard is a freelance Drupal IT consultant. He has closely followed and participated in Drupal's development for over seven years.
I am currently not looking for new site development projects. I am now specializing in Drupal performance consulting.
I am currently fully booked until: December 2009
I have some limited time for performance consulting.
ServicesDrupal performance consulting, review of code written by third parties, Drupal training.
Qualifications During my work with Drupal I have implemented solutions for a variety of problems including - but not limited to - an access control module, a remindme extension for the event module, which I also maintain, and the listhandler module. In the past I managed to reduce Drupal's execution time by improvements to the database queries. Recently I have been successfully trying to decrease Drupal's page execution time even further by caching some data structures. I have also been successfull in getting a significantly improved locale.module into the Drupal core for the 4.5 release and worked on PHP 5 compatibility for the 4.6 release. A pending project is the improvement of the Drupal's revisioning system.
Furthermore, I was the Drupal 4.7 maintainer for the life cycle of that release, I am member of the Drupal security team, and I am the infrastructure manager for the Drupal association, running drupal.org on its behalf.
