Senior Drupal Developer
As Senior Drupal Developer at WTG, I delivered secure, scalable, and feature-rich web applications for both internal operations and client audiences. Working within IL2 and IL3 environments, I combined deep Drupal 7 expertise with modern DevOps practices to streamline development lifecycles, fortify data protection, and elevate user experiences.
Key Projects and Achievements
ASPeL Application
- Developed a bespoke Drupal 7 platform for ASPeL under IL2/IL3 security controls, implementing SHA-512 front-end encryption to protect sensitive data.
- Automated local development environments using Vagrant and VirtualBox, codifying provisioning scripts in Puppet and Chef for consistency across teams.
- Orchestrated continuous integration pipelines with Bamboo, leveraging Crucible for peer code reviews and Cucumber + Gherkin for behavior-driven testing.
WTG Corporate Website (wtg.co.uk)
- Architected and launched the public-facing Drupal 7 site, integrating Apache SOLR to deliver fast, relevant search results across extensive content collections.
- Built custom modules for video ingestion and playback, enabling dynamic multimedia presentations that increased user engagement.
- Optimized performance through caching strategies and front-end asset pipelines, cutting page-load times by over 30% on high-traffic days.
Collaboration and Continuous Improvement
- Partnered with designers, business analysts, and QA engineers—both onshore and offshore—to define technical requirements and integrate feedback loops.
- Mentored junior developers in modern PHP standards and Drupal APIs, fostering a culture of code quality and automated testing.
- Documented architecture diagrams, deployment procedures, and coding conventions in Confluence to support smooth handovers and ongoing maintenance.
My work at WTG showcases a proven ability to blend robust security practices, automated DevOps workflows, and custom Drupal development—laying the foundation for reliable, high-performance web solutions that drive strategic objectives.
