Experienced Drupal Architect and Drupal Developer
More Than a Drupal Architect or Developer: A Proven Software Architect & Engineer
I am a Drupal expert since 2008, specializing as a Drupal Architect and Drupal Developer—but my expertise runs far deeper. With over 30 years of experience as a Software Engineer and Software Architect, I bring the technical depth and strategic insight needed to design and implement complex systems that truly support your business.
This sets me apart and defines the way I work with you.
Software Architect: The Vision to See the Big Picture, The Skill to Model It
“Great Architecture is like petrified music.”
Goethe
My role as a Software Architect starts with understanding your business holistically. I don't just build websites—I translate your business processes into structured, digital systems. That means listening carefully, often reading between the lines, and uncovering connections that aren’t always immediately obvious.
While a junior developer might dive straight into coding, I focus first on the big picture. I take time to understand your business model, structure, and workflows, then map them into a digital architecture—within Drupal.
Your business consists of both
- structure (the entities you interact with—clients, products, orders)
- and process (how those entities interact and evolve—production, ordering, fulfillment).
Both elements are critical.
A simple Example:
You tell me: “My clients order some widget we produce.”
From that simple sentence, I identify several key entities: your business, the client, the widget, and the order. There also is an explicit process – ordering – but I also detect an implied process—production—which I’ll explore further to understand how widgets are created, categorized, and managed.
Drupal is exceptionally well-suited for modeling this. Its robust content architecture allows me to create content types and fields that align directly with your business logic.
But beyond static content, your business also includes dynamic workflows—production pipelines, order fulfillment, client engagement—which often require custom logic.
That's where software engineering comes in.
Software Engineer: From Vision to Code, from Structure to Life
“The word Engineer derives from Genesis: The beginning of creation.”
Hanns-Oskar Porr: The Steps of Essence
As a Drupal architect, I identify the core objects and relationships within your business and map them into Drupal’s content types, entities, and modules.
As a Drupal-developer and software engineer, I take that foundation and skillfully implement the custom processes and workflows that power your business—writing code that reflects how your operation truly works.
In this role, I build on the structured model captured during the architectural phase and translate your business vision into functional, maintainable code.
The logic I write moves the pieces—your data, interactions, and workflows—bringing your system to life.
Using sound object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and deep technical expertise, I transform static structure into dynamic functionality.
I don’t just build a website—I breathe life into your digital business model.
Creating a Digital Reflection of Your Business
What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution.
I don’t just deliver websites—I create systems that are your business, digitized.
The result is a solution that fits like a glove—because it's modeled directly on your unique processes, goals, and operations.
The Full Spectrum: Architecture, Engineering, and Business Fit
My approach spans the entire spectrum:
- Drupal Architecture – Strategic planning, system modeling, big-picture thinking, Vision.
- Drupal Engineering – Expert implementation, scalable custom development.
- Business Alignment – Ensuring the solution fits your workflow and goals.
By combining the vision of a Software Architect with the precision of a Software Engineer, I deliver Drupal-based solutions that are deeply aligned with your business.
