Drupal
- Drupal contributions
I've made dozens of patches for various contrib modules, and spent a lot of time asking and answering/solving questions on Drupal.org and with my collegues. I'm also actively promoting Drupal to pretty much everyone I know and forc.. helping my friends and relatives to use Drupal as well.
As a full time Drupal professional with over 4 years of very active Drupal development I've made dozens of reuseable custom modules. However, I'm ashamed to admit none of them have been yet released as contrib modules. I plan to change this sooner or later.
My aim is to undestand all technical details and workings of every site/project I'm involved in. I like, or rather need to understand how things work, which means my Drupal related "feelings" are based on hard fact instead of guessing.. Mostly. There is also the feeling part :)
Apart from core and contrib, my Drupal knowledge it not just limited to Drupal-code, but hardware and the whole process:
PHP, LAMPP, databases, reverse proxies, SEO, HTTP-protocol, performance bottlenecks, logical structures etc. All which need to be understood to be able to scale Drupal succesfully.All this has lead me to become especially interested in performance optimization, as it requires a deep understanding on everything that is going on, and the motivation to make things work as good as possible. Real life optimizations need to take many things in account, and often result in a compromise of time & money / hardware / speed / clean code / happy customer. Last of which should never be compromised.
