I am all about doing meaningful work, and Drupal makes that possible.
In late 2018, I started the phpstan-drupal project to bring static code analysis via PHPStan to Drupal. It allows developers to catch errors before runtime, significantly improving code quality and maintainability and reducing bugs across the ecosystem. In just a few years, it has become a cornerstone of the major version upgrade process and development of Drupal.
In 2021, I created the Drupal Lenient Composer Plugin, which was officially adopted by the community and replaced the legacy lenient packages endpoint.
I am a Drupal Commerce specialist – working at the intersection of Drupal and e-commerce. Right now, I am focusing on headless architectures and decoupled system integrations. I am also the author of the Drupal 8 Development Cookbook, one of the first published books on Drupal 8. I am also the author of the Drupal 10 Development Cookbook.
In 2012, I started earning a living as a developer. A year after I landed my first developer job, I started using Drupal after discovering it through a client using Drupal Commerce. I was captivated by the ability to use this free and open software and contribute. I then directed all of the passion I had developed over the years for writing code into Drupal. I spent time getting to know others in the community and working to contribute to Drupal and Drupal Commerce.
My activity in the Drupal community paid dividends, and I joined Centarro in 2015 (then Commerce Guys) as a senior Drupal developer. At Centarro, I have been able to build Drupal Commerce, contribute to Drupal core, and many other contributed projects in the Drupal ecosystem. From 2015 to 2020 I worked with Bojan Živanović to build the next stable version of Drupal Commerce for Drupal 8 and beyond.
From 2020 until 2021, I worked independently with my consultancy, Bluehorn Digital.
In 2021, I joined Acquia as a Principal Software Engineer.
I was fortunate enough to be recognized as a top contributor to Drupal for several years:
I am proud to find that 49 users on Drupal.org see me as a mentor, and that I have helped them in some way through my open source contributions.
