CloudWave Inc Sep 2024 present
Position: Drupal Developer Full Time (Remote)
Client: IBM / GSA [Sep 2024 - Present]
Project:Drupal 9 & 10 - Full Stack Developer, Solution Architect, Custom Module Builder, Content Management, Fixing
Deployment issues, Website Work & Maintenance on these websites:
https://www.acquisition.gov/
https://www.fai.gov/
I work as a full-stack Drupal developer supporting GSA s federal platforms, including Acquisition.gov and FAI.gov,
where I deliver new features, enhancements, customizations, and troubleshooting across Drupal 9 and 10. My work
includes advanced custom module development, custom themes, Twig template overrides, Views and entity
customization, content modeling, and API integrations. I use PHP, MySQL, JavaScript (ES6 + jQuery), HTML,
CSS/SASS/SCSS, and YAML to build scalable, secure, high-performance Drupal solutions while maintaining federal
accessibility and security standards.
I worked on the upgrade from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10, resolving deprecated code, updating contributed modules,
validating compatibility for themes and custom code, patching issues, and ensuring all components met WCAG 2.1 AA
and USWDS requirements. I regularly perform Drupal core updates, contrib updates, security patches, and
configuration synchronization, ensuring stable and secure application behavior across environments.
I handle both backend and frontend development, including custom PHP logic, database query optimization, building
reusable templates, creating responsive layouts, and implementing JavaScript behaviors for enhanced interactivity. I
have strong experience in troubleshooting complex Drupal issues, such as caching problems, rendering errors,
configuration conflicts, permission issues, and deployment pipeline failures. I worked with REST and GraphQL APIs,
integrating Drupal with external data sources and building API-driven features. I also use Drush and Composer
extensively for automation, environment management, and code deployments. I work with Docker for containerized
development workflows.
I support cloud-hosted deployments on Acquia Cloud, AWS, and Azure, including environment configuration,
performance tuning, CDN/cache settings, and assisting with CI/CD pipelines for federal release cycles. My role
includes collaborating with cross-functional teams using Agile methodologies and Jira for sprint planning, task
tracking, and release coordination.
I also implemented small React components for selected pages to improve interactivity. These components consume
Drupal REST output and integrate cleanly into the theme layer. While my primary strength is Drupal development, I
have hands-on experience delivering React-based UI enhancements where needed. In this role stacks includes
Drupal 9/10/11, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript (ES6 + jQuery + JSX), CKEditor5, Twig, HTML, CSS/SASS/SCSS, YAML,
Drush, Composer, Docker, Git, Jira, AWS, Azure, Acquia Cloud, Agile workflows.

Website Work & Maintenance on these websites:
https://data.nal.usda.gov
https://www.nal.usda.gov
https://www.nutrition.gov
https://nematode.ars.usda.gov
I worked extensively as a full-stack Drupal developer supporting multiple USDA platforms, handling front-end and back-
end development, site architecture, troubleshooting, security hardening, and performance optimization. I installed,
configured, deployed, and maintained LAMP-based Drupal environments across Acquia Cloud, AWS, and Azure
including EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront, Azure App Services/VMs, CDN/WAF integration, load balancers, auto-scaling,
and cloud security policies. I built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using Acquia Pipelines, GitHub Actions, and Azure
DevOps, and leveraged Docker, Lando, and DDEV for consistent containerized development workflows.
I worked deeply across Drupal 7, 8, 9, and 10, delivering advanced solutions with custom module development, custom
themes, Twig templating, Views, entities, and API integrations. I created new content types, blocks, and views; built
custom pages and features; updated Drupal core and contrib modules; fixed structural issues; debugged complex PHP
and Drupal problems; and optimized both application and database performance. I also managed Drupal Configuration
Management (CMI), config splits, and multi-environment workflows to ensure stable and predictable deployments.
I handled Drupal caching layers including cache tags, render caching, dynamic page caching, and CDN/CloudFront
edge caching, achieving major performance improvements across USDA environments. I also integrated and tuned
Apache Solr search, delivering fast, accurate indexing and faceted search experiences. I used Composer extensively
for dependency management, core and module updates, autoloading, and maintaining stable Drupal 8/9/10 codebases.
I also relied heavily on Drush for automation, configuration export/import, cache management, cron, debugging, and
deployment workflows.
I implemented React.js with Drupal, building decoupled, interactive components using hooks, modular architecture, and
micro-frontend patterns. I developed dynamic dashboards, enhanced search interfaces, real-time data displays, and
reusable UI components integrated with REST and GraphQL APIs. I optimized React performance using lazy loading,
code splitting, and caching strategies while maintaining WCAG 2.1 AA / ADA compliance and USWDS standards. I used
Gulp and Webpack for front-end automation, asset optimization, and build performance. I also supported USDA internal
systems built using C# and .NET, including integration workflows involving FSDE (Financial Statements Data Exchange
System) and other ASP.NET-based scientific/reporting tools. This work ensured secure interoperability between
Drupal s PHP ecosystem and USDA s .NET infrastructure.
I contributed to major Drupal migrations (7 8, 8 9, 9 10) and led a successful migration of a Drupal 7.95 site to
Figshare, handling data mapping, restructuring, transformation, and validation. I also rewrote the legacy USDA harvest
system from PHP to Python to improve automation and maintainability. My technical toolkit includes Linux, Apache,
MySQL, PHP, Drupal, React.js, jQuery, JavaScript, Java, Python, YAML, HTML, CSS/SASS, Git, Solr, Docker, Drush,
Composer, FileZilla, Hugin, GitHub, and the full Drupal ecosystem delivering secure, scalable, high-performance
federal applications.
