What I build
for your business
From rescuing a broken WordPress site to architecting a Drupal migration at scale — I handle the full PHP web stack.
Need a custom web application, a faster backend, or an aging PHP site brought up to modern standards? I handle it all — from building new features and connecting third-party services to cleaning up old code and keeping things running smoothly under heavy traffic.
- Features built around your business
- Integrations that just work
- Code that scales with you
- A faster, more secure site
- A developer you can actually talk to
15+ years working with Drupal across every major version from D6 to D11. I've architected and delivered enterprise platforms for Fortune 500s, federal agencies, and non-profits — and I know the framework inside out.
Back-End — Have a business workflow that needs to live on the web? I translate it into reliable, scalable Drupal functionality. Whether you need to move large amounts of data between systems, connect your site to external services and APIs, automate business processes, or build entirely new features from scratch — it gets done cleanly, securely, and built for great performanze and stability.
Front-End — Your site should look as good as it works. I bring designs to life with precision — building themes that match your brand exactly, adapt beautifully to any screen size, and feel effortless to use. The level of UI complexity isn't a constraint; if it can be designed, it can be built.
Site Building — Beyond the code, I structure your site so it's easy to manage and built to grow. Content models, search, user permissions, media, cloud storage — everything is thoughtfully configured so your team can own the day-to-day without depending on a developer for every change. And every environment is version-controlled and ready to deploy.
- Flexible, customizable content management
- Enterprise-level scalability and security
- Robust multilingual and multisite capabilities
- Powerful user roles and permissions
- Strong ecosystem of modules and integrations
From simple plugins to complex enterprise WordPress platforms — I've been building with WordPress since version 2.x, with hands-on experience in both front-end and back-end covering everything the platform offers.
Back-End — Complex custom plugins, custom post types with custom fields, Gutenberg blocks, custom shortcodes, REST/SOAP API integrations, AJAX-based custom endpoints, data sync from web services, cron jobs, custom MySQL queries, user roles & permissions, third-party PHP library integration, and security hardening.
Front-End — Mobile-responsive theming, child themes, custom templates & walker classes for menus, jQuery plugin integration, ReactJS UI components, Blade templating, and complex layout development with CSS3/SASS.
- User-friendly content management
- Vast library of themes and plugins
- SEO-ready out of the box
- Flexible and highly customizable
- Strong community support and documentation
- Easy integration with third-party services
Your site doesn't live in isolation — it needs to talk to the rest of your business. I connect Drupal and WordPress to Salesforce, AWS S3, payment gateways, CRMs, and any REST/SOAP service you rely on. Authentication, error handling, data mapping, and security compliance are all handled end-to-end, with integrations built to be stable and resilient so your data stays in sync and your workflows keep running without interruption.
- AWS S3 (Cigna)
- Salesforce CRM
- Enterprise REST/SOAP
- Payment gateways
- 3rd-party SaaS
Pixel-perfect, performant front-ends built with modern tooling. From semantic HTML5 and CSS3/SASS architecture to reactive JavaScript UIs — I bridge the gap between design and a fast, accessible browser experience.
UI & Styling — Semantic HTML5, modular CSS3/SASS architecture, responsive & mobile-first layouts, cross-browser compatibility, CSS animations, and accessibility (WCAG) compliance.
JavaScript & Libraries — Vanilla JS (ES6+), jQuery, ReactJS components and hooks, and a range of JS libraries tailored to project needs — from lightweight utilities to full UI frameworks.
Modern Build Tooling — Node.js-based workflows managed with NPM or YARN, Webpack for module bundling, code splitting, and asset optimization, PostCSS for autoprefixing and CSS transformations, Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling, plus Gulp pipelines for SASS compilation, linting, and live reloading in development.
- Responsive UI builds
- SASS component systems
- Webpack/Gulp pipelines
- ReactJS interfaces
- Performance & a11y audits
The tools I use to
get the job done.
A clear process,
every time.
No surprises — from first call to final delivery, you always know what's happening and why.
We discuss your goals, tech stack, and constraints. I deliver a fixed-price proposal with a clear scope before any work begins.
I design the technical approach — data models, API contracts, module structure — so there are no surprises mid-build.
Development in focused sprints with regular check-ins. You get working code early and often, not a big reveal at the end.
Full QA, CI/CD deployment, and a clean handoff with documentation. Your team can own the code from day one.
15 years. Real projects.
