I need reinforcement for my team

Senior Drupal reinforcement for your team

Your team or agency has more work than hands, or lacks someone to guard the architecture. I am a freelance Drupal developer with 10+ years of experience, and I step into your existing workflow: your Git flow, your sprints, your code reviews.

I need reinforcement for my team

When teams bring in a Drupal contractor

  • A peak in the planning. A deadline that no longer fits with the current team.
  • A well-defined project. An upgrade or migration, a new module or an integration that someone has to own from start to finish.
  • A technical lead on one project. Your team builds well in Drupal, but lacks someone who underpins the architecture choices and carries the code review.
  • An agency without an in-house Drupal specialist. You have a Drupal project, but nobody who works with it every day.

How I join your team

I step into the flow that is there and do not put a second one next to it. Agile, Scrum or fixed project phases: I adapt to how you work.

  1. Introduction. We discuss the project, the planning and what you expect from a contractor. You hear from me within 24 hours.
  2. Access and onboarding. Repo access, a README that gets the site running locally, and the backlog with what needs to happen this sprint.
  3. Working along. I pick up tickets, do code reviews and discuss architecture choices where needed.
  4. Handover. I record decisions where your team can find them, so nothing stays with me alone.

What you get

  • Seniority. Experience with Git flow, CI/CD, technical architecture and code reviews, from Drupal 7 up to and including 11.
  • Specialisms where teams often get stuck: migrations, headless Drupal, accessibility and performance.
  • Open work. My own work is on GitHub and drupal.org, so you can see up front how I write code.

Everything about availability, start-up time and working with an existing team is on hire a freelance Drupal developer. For an ongoing collaboration I work from 75 euros per hour or 650 euros per day. I work from Herk-de-Stad, remote in CET, in Dutch or English.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you start?

That depends on my current assignments, so ask rather than assume. You get an answer within 24 hours. The start-up itself is usually shorter than teams expect: with repo access and a working local environment I can contribute quickly.

Do you work remotely or on site?

Mostly remote, in CET. Where needed I come by. I work for teams across Belgium and the Netherlands.

What does a Drupal contractor cost?

75 to 95 euros per hour or 650 to 800 euros per day, excluding VAT. For an ongoing collaboration I am at the lower end of that range. All details are on my rates page.

Do you work inside our tools and process?

Yes. Your Git flow, ticket system, sprints and code reviews: I step into what is there and do not add anything next to it.

Do you also work for agencies?

Yes. I work for agencies, SMEs, universities and organisations that need extra Drupal experience.

Which language do you work in?

Dutch or English, in meetings as well as in code and documentation.

Headless and decoupled Drupal

Headless Drupal is an architecture choice, not an upgrade. I map out which part of your site should be decoupled and connect it through JSON:API or GraphQL.
