Bio: 

Drupal Developer with 17+ years of experience specializing in site building and user-focused digital solutions. I am experienced in building sites and themes from versions 7 through 11, with strong skills in custom module development, API integrations, and decoupled solutions.
Over the past two years, I've expanded into enterprise-level architecture, designing and implementing multi-site solutions with complex third-party integrations including SSO for gated content, Salesforce, Mautic marketing automation, Apache Solr, and Google Maps API. My foundation in site building has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of how technical decisions impact UX and content management workflows.
I excel at translating business requirements into practical technical solutions, combining my extensive site-building experience with growing expertise in system architecture. Whether developing custom modules, integrating complex APIs, or architecting backend systems for interconnected websites, I focus on creating maintainable, scalable solutions that serve both users and content creators effectively.
My approach balances proven site-building fundamentals with continuous learning in enterprise development, always striving to expand my technical capabilities while delivering reliable, impactful results.
