ProfessionalSummary
I am a full-stack web developer with over two-decades of experience in delivering custom web-based software projects, primarily on the Drupal platform. Highly organized and self-directed, I excel at managing and executing complex projects from concept to launch while communicating clearly across all phases. I am particularly drawn to optimizing interactions between system components, such as User Interfaces, APIs, and code functions, to enhance system clarity and efficiency.
