Drupal Developer & ArchitectMichael Michalak
I build, rescue, and scale Drupal platforms, from complex commerce sites to headless architectures serving modern frontends. 15+ years in Drupal (since 6), including enterprise Commerce, decoupled Next.js/React implementations, and high-traffic publishing platforms.
Core specializations:
Drupal Commerce: Headless & traditional, complex pricing, subscriptions, marketplaces
Decoupled/Headless: JSON:API, GraphQL, Next.js, React frontends
Performance & Scaling: Caching strategy (Varnish, Redis, BigPipe), DB optimization, load testing, CDN architecture
Migrations & Upgrades: D7→D10/11, WordPress/other CMS → Drupal, content modeling for scale
Platform Architecture: Multi-site, Acquia/Pantheon/platform.sh/Upsun, CI/CD pipelines, DevOps
Rescue & Audit: Stalled projects, technical debt, security remediation, performance bottlenecks
Custom Module Development: Bespoke functionality, API integrations, automation
How I work: Fixed-scope projects or retainer. Clear milestones, automated testing, documentation handoff. Available for fractional/architectural roles on larger builds.
