What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic team where I can own Drupal development end-to-end—migrations, custom modules, and redesigns—while collaborating with developers and designers to improve performance, engagement, and maintainable architecture using modern tools.

I’m a Senior Drupal Developer with 19 years of experience delivering custom module development, responsive theming, and Drupal migrations. I thrive on taking ownership of complex redesigns—re-architecting Drupal-based websites to improve functionality and user engagement.

Across my roles, I’ve led comprehensive Drupal redesigns and built the custom backend and UI components needed to make them successful. At Catholic Relief Services, I developed and maintained 30+ websites using Drupal 7, Drupal 9, and WordPress, while implementing content and feature updates and performing security checks.

I’m also hands-on with migrations and modernization, including moving organizations from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 and supporting transitions to Drupal 10. I build and maintain tools, custom modules, and site features that streamline operations—such as enabling sub-sites with Organic Groups and enhancing marketing and interactive experiences.

I work effectively with cross-functional teams, follow HTML5 and performance best practices, and bring full-stack development thinking to every project. I pair strong engineering fundamentals with practical innovation—using tools and AI platforms like Claude Code and CoPilot—to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
