About me

I am an IT professional with more than 15 years of experience delivering high-quality, business-driven, mission-critical web solutions on the Drupal Content Management System.

My work covers the whole lifecycle: infrastructure planning and setup, software and web development, functional and performance testing, project implementation, and post-production support. I know the SDLC process and Agile project management well. I also enjoy working with business teams to turn their goals into reliable, secure websites.
