Senior Drupal Developer
At PublicZone, I served as Senior Drupal Developer, delivering secure, scalable Drupal 6 applications for high-profile organisations. Stationed at our London office on Bishopsgate, I combined deep technical expertise with agile practices to build feature-rich web platforms that met strict performance, security, and multilingual requirements.
Key Projects & Achievements
United Nations – UrbanGateway
I architected and maintained the multi-server, multi-language Drupal 6 site at urbangateway.org. By integrating Apache SOLR for lightning-fast search and deploying bespoke modules via agile Scrum sprints, I ensured content from over 50 cities remained accessible and discoverable. I managed hosting, server builds with strategic capacity planning, and coordinated end-to-end deployments.
National Trust – MyFarm
For my-farm.org.uk, I developed a Drupal 6 platform that won the Gleaming APA International content marketing award. I led feature development—interactive maps, event calendars, and user-generated content—while overseeing continuous integration and performance tuning to support peak visitor traffic.
CardAid & Good Gifts
I delivered bespoke e-commerce solutions for cardaid.co.uk and goodgifts.org, building custom Drupal 6 eShop modules and batch-processing workflows. Implementing automated testing and deployment pipelines reduced release cycles by 40% and ensured compliance with data-handling standards.
The Stroke Association
I single-handedly developed stroke.org’s Drupal 6 site, designing a secure forum and eShop integration. By leveraging SOLR search, Apache Tomcat, and rigorous strategic planning, I achieved 99.9% uptime and seamless content management for both public and member-only sections.
Technologies & Practices
- Drupal 6 custom modules: Features, Views, Display Suite
- Apache SOLR, Tomcat

Through strategic vision, hands-on development, and collaborative leadership, I empowered each client to achieve their outreach and engagement goals—laying the groundwork for long-term digital success.
