Experienced Drupal and Full Stack Developer focused on accessible, scalable digital services.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced Drupal and full stack developer with over 15 years designing, developing and deploying scalable digital solutions for local government. I specialise in PHP, Drupal (including LocalGov Drupal), WordPress and accessible, user-centered eForms with payment integration.
At Haringey Council I led delivery of multiple LocalGov Drupal microsites, digitised 50+ legacy council services and built 10+ transactional, GDS-standard forms driving 50K+ annual transactions. I emphasise WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility throughout projects and collaborate closely with content designers and accessibility experts.
I automate workflows and streamline business processes — reducing manual tasks by up to 70% and accelerating delivery timelines by 40% — and contribute back to open-source distributions to shorten development time. I also mentor junior developers through workshops and one-to-one coaching to raise team capability.
I work comfortably in Agile teams using tools like Jira and Slack, and with cloud/DevOps practices including Docker, Git and CI/CD. I am motivated by delivering measurable service improvements, strong stakeholder collaboration and contributing to the LocalGov Drupal community.
