What I'm looking for

I seek roles building resilient, compliant web platforms where I can lead Drupal architecture, improve UX/performance, and strengthen security and DevOps practices.

I am a senior web developer and Drupal specialist with extensive experience building and maintaining large, mission-critical websites for government and enterprise clients.

I have designed and implemented sites on Acquia Cloud and Acquia SiteFactory, created reusable templating systems with Twig, and developed custom Drupal modules to accelerate feature delivery and third-party integrations.

I bring strong front-end and performance skills—CSS, ES6/JavaScript, React, AJAX—and I have modernized front-end architectures to improve responsiveness and user experience while applying SEO and accessibility best practices.

I prioritize security and compliance, having implemented HIPAA/GDPR safeguards, FedRAMP API integrations, and DevOps pipeline controls to ensure resilient, auditable deployments.
