What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable Drupal and headless platforms, lead API and backend architecture, and deliver reusable React interfaces through strong engineering practices.

I've led HSBC's enterprise API documentation portal at DigitalApi using Drupal 9, React.js, REST/JSON APIs, and a headless architecture. I built reusable React components, custom Drupal modules and entities, Webforms, Views customizations, and Swagger/OpenAPI documentation.

I bring 12+ years of PHP development experience, including 7+ years focused on Drupal 7 through Drupal 11 and technical leadership. I've delivered Drupal upgrades with zero production downtime, multisite and multilingual architectures, and accessible WCAG/ADA-compliant enterprise interfaces.

My backend work includes Apigee integrations with OAuth/JWT, Salesforce integration, Solr, Redis caching, database migrations, and performance optimization. I also manage delivery through GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker, DDEV, AWS, and Git.

Earlier, I built CodeIgniter CMS platforms, REST APIs for mobile applications, Drupal migration projects, Reliance R-University LMS solutions, and Drupal Commerce storefronts with multilingual content and currency support.
