I've got about 10 years of experience with Drupal. I've launched dozens of Drupal sites. Custom modules? I've got you covered. I've got D8 and D7 under my belt. Headless? Done it. Third party integrations? Bring it. I’ve built custom Gutenberg blocks and can spin whatever WP Query you need- Conference Speaking. I presented at DrupalCon Baltimore, where I went through specific solutions for building decoupled Drupal websites- Front-end Development. I got my start in tech writing semantic HTML and well-formed CSS. My home is the browser- Accessibility/508. It's a requirement, not a feature. Have you ever enabled VoiceOver just to "hear" your work? I have. It was awful, until I added aria attributes and made sure my tabindexes were set up correctly- Server configuration. Apache, Nginx, doesn't matter. I've optimized server config, implemented Memcache, had to fix issues with load balancing- Technical Support. I've been the guy on both sides of the phone- Government Contracting Goals - Develop, accessible, web applications- Help clients achieve their own goals- Meet other people who enjoy developing for the web as much as I do- Go camping more- Bake a soufflé
