What it means

Enterprise-grade Drupal confidence

Verified

Passing Acquia's specialist exam requires demonstrable expertise across the full Drupal lifecycle, from content architecture and security hardening to performant deployments and operational maturity.

It maps directly to the kind of delivery leadership I provide on complex projects involving migrations, integrations, automation, and scalable platform architecture.

Clients and teams use this certification as a trust signal that the work is grounded in best practices, maintainability, and sound technical decision-making rather than short-term implementation shortcuts.

Profile & Experience

Engineering depth with delivery discipline.

I lead Drupal teams that ship resilient, enterprise-grade platforms. With hands-on experience across Drupal 7–11, headless architectures, and automation-first delivery, I turn complex requirements into secure, scalable systems. I thrive in the space where backend engineering meets operational excellence, mentoring teams, orchestrating CI/CD, and weaving in n8n, Make.com, or Zapier to eliminate busywork.

Outside the code editor you'll find me exploring new destinations, experimenting with fitness routines, or hacking on side projects that keep my product instincts sharp.
