Work History
Software Developer (Technical Architect)
Acquia
Full-time, Remote
06.2021 - 03.2024
- Played a key role in deciding the optimal configuration strategy, choosing between snapshot-based and distribution-based approaches. The project presented challenges such as the absence of a base site and the independent transfer of the majority of sites in the Acquia Cloud Site Factory (ACSF). Despite these complexities, I successfully ensured that basic configurations, common across all sites, were seamlessly shared, with modules like dblog and shield enabled in the development environment.
- Showcased my analytical skills by analyzing and significantly reducing the database size for a customer from 9GiB to 4GiB. This involved addressing issues such as stale data from migration imports and unnecessary content revisions. The reduction in memory size per table was a result of a thorough analysis of each database table and entity, laying the groundwork for further improvements in subsequent sprints.
- Played a pivotal role in merging a standalone site from AWS into the ACSF Stack, ensuring a smooth transition without affecting existing ACSF sites. This involved a comprehensive analysis during the discovery phase, merging custom and contrib modules, themes, and frontend libraries.
- Implemented CAS (Central Authentication Service) in Drupal 7 to replace the PIN authentication service for a customer. Despite the numerous challenges encountered, I handled them maturely, ensuring the successful completion of the project.
- Successfully delivered an Application Audit Reports various customers.
- Showcased my ability to navigate uncertainties. I played a key role in extensive investigations following an audit report by team. Effectively removed blockers for the team through the creation and grooming of JIRA tickets.

- Successfully architected a complex functionality to integrate the customer's Digital Asset Management (DAM) system with CKEditor 4 in Drupal. While many modules make use of the Media reference field for simpler implementation, I fulfilled the customer's unique request for a deep integration with the CKEditor. This integration allowed users to seamlessly utilize assets from DAM within the CKEditor itself and also allowed them to upload/update assets to their DAM directly from the CKEditor.
- My commitment to the reliability and security of web applications is evident in my role as an on-call technical support resource. I ensured continuous availability and promptly troubleshooted any attacks or disruptions in the servers running our web applications.
