Hire the Best Drupal Developers in California

Single-handedly migrated a global security-technology manufacturer's US website — 8,000 pages and 70,000 registered user accounts — from a legacy, end-of-life Drupal 7 platform to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), over 10 months, end to end. What I did: • Migrated 8,000 pages into AEM's component-based authoring model • Exported and re-imported 70,000 registered user accounts with zero data loss • Rebuilt the site's search and analytics systems • Designed and executed a full URL redirect map to preserve SEO equity across thousands of legacy URLs • Delivered global content faster via CDN, and made day-to-day content updates manageable for non-technical teams Results: • +20% traffic in the first month post-launch — roughly +160,000 monthly unique visitors • 300% increase in sales inquiries • Lower maintenance overhead, easier content operations How I'd do it today: Since this project, I've moved into AI-assisted engineering. On a migration like this now, I'd compress the timeline with LLM-assisted content mapping and cleanup, semantic (embedding-based) URL matching to auto-generate redirect maps instead of mapping thousands by hand, automated QA to diff migrated pages against originals, and a modern vector/semantic search in place of legacy keyword search. Same enterprise rigor — delivered faster.

I have 15+ years of software development experience, and I am specialised in full stack Drupal development. This means I am very good with databases (mysql), backend development (PHP), and front end development (HTML, JavaScript).

I am a software developer, currently concentrating on web development. I can build websites or web applications from scratch or update/fix/transform an existing one on both Windows and Linux platforms. I’m methodical in my work habits and like to deliver products with quality built on a solid base, rather than to just show it works on the surface. Throughout my academic and professional background, I have acquired extensive experience in web development using various languages and frameworks including C#, PHP, JavaScript, JQuery, ASP.Net, .Net Web API, Entity and Identity frameworks, EmberJS and Angular, MS SQL Server and MySQL. I also have experience with content management systems such as Drupal and WordPress. I have studied "Computer Science & Engineering," which embraces both hardware and software. In essence, I have deep understanding of computer technology, and have experience and knowledge in various areas. That makes me to be a strong problem solver as well as to be creative.

My main technologies these days are Drupal and React, often with a focus on helping clients understand their business/nonprofit needs and find the right technology solutions. I particularly enjoy working with nonprofits, startups, and political civil-communications projects. I've been developing Drupal sites for about ten years, and been a freelance developer for nearly twenty. My largest Drupal project was for a startup called Vibio: I was the lead developer managing three other Drupal developers, coordinating with the founder, designers, a writer and community manager. We used the API from Amazon, and as a team developed a loosely Agile development approach and multiperson GitHub system. Our tech team successfully launched; unfortunately the founder was unable to raise the next round, so the site is gone. After that I took a sabbatical and wrote a book, Cognitive Politics, and now that this is published I'm looking to build a reputation at UpWork and find new clients. A recent Drupal 8 project is SpaceBase.co: this website allows organizations to create their own smaller communities with events and forums. The nonprofit that launched SpaceBase.co intends to release it as opensource — if you have a project that calls for a similar website, please check with me, we may be able to use the underlying code. I have almost two decades of a wide range of clients and projects — often working besides a startup founder, helping from the initial idea to completion and launch. I can learn a new technology fast, and for the right project will do this on my own time. I'm a good communicator and enjoy converting business or nonprofit needs into technology. Freelance work supports my personal projects, in particular an environmental company SpaceShare which I've been running since 2004 and just now returning from a partial sabbatical to write a book. I've signed up with Upwork to rebuild my client list and possibly explore some new technologies. Happy to answer questions! (Note on locations: I'm often in the Pacific Northwest and Nashville.)
