What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead Drupal/PHP delivery, troubleshoot complex issues end-to-end, and strengthen CI/CD and performance monitoring—while collaborating closely with stakeholders and mentoring teams to improve reliability and user experience.

I bring 15+ years of experience building and maintaining web-based applications across LAMP/WAMP environments, with deep expertise in Drupal and strong delivery ownership. I solve problems thoroughly—prioritizing client needs first, researching options, estimating accurately, and communicating clear deliverables, risks, and assumptions.

In my current role, I lead support engineers for Drupal applications by driving issue resolution with Jira, maintaining CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, monitoring performance with New Relic, and collaborating cross-functionally to ensure high availability. Earlier, I upgraded and developed Drupal capabilities, built modules and theming, delivered API services with OAuth2, and worked across front-end and back-end (Vue/Angular/JS, PHP frameworks like Laravel and CodeIgniter) while mentoring teams and improving end-user experiences.
