Work Experience

Senior Solution Engineer

Rappit

Jan 2023 - Present

Led the CKEditor 4→5 upgrade during the Drupal 9→10→11 migration end-to-end, including a custom plugin for Google Drive document embedding, custom theme development and Views configuration. Migrated client's Google Drive integration to Microsoft SharePoint: configured Azure AD app registration/API credentials and built a custom Drupal module for Azure token-based auth + Microsoft Graph API to embed SharePoint docs. Stood up a new client environment from scratch after a corporate split — ACSF site creation, code/DNS/CDN cloning, Acquia hosting setup — taking the account from 1 to 2 live production clients. Eliminated a recurring cron crash and page-load slowdown in a Media KPI integration by building a module that restricts upload size and skips unchanged media via last-modified checks. Implemented SAML2/OAuth 2.0 SSO for enterprise clients; integrated Salesforce CRM with Webform-to-CRM data mapping and automated Behat test suites wired into GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Proactively monitored production performance (New Relic, CDN, caching) across 10+ multilingual sites, identifying and resolving issues before client impact; enforced coding standards via peer review and Upgrade Status audits for deprecated code/security patches. Contributed Drupal backend work to a decoupled React.js + Node.js architecture (Drupal on Acquia, React/Node on AWS) powering a calculator web app (formula, mining, viscosity) — business users edit calculation logic in Drupal, React handles real-time frontend computation. Used AI-assisted development tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to speed up custom module development while maintaining Drupal coding standards; managed regression testing cycles, release coordination, with delivery tracked via Jira/Confluence under Agile methodology. Implemented audit-driven website optimizations based on a third-party performance audit for Solvay/Syensqo — built structured data (JSON-LD via Schema Metatag module), DOM optimization, lazy loading, and preconnect/preload resource hints to significantly improve page load performance.

Led the Drupal 8→9 migration and end-to-end delivery of a new medical education program website, built from scratch within the company's existing multi-site (healthcare/non-healthcare) architecture. Managed a cross-functional team of 2 backend developers plus design and QA, running daily scrums and leading client requirement/estimation discussions. Won 'Best Revenue Project' and 'Best Innovation Project' company awards, plus an individual recognition for team leadership, for delivery of the medical education platform.
