Hi there!
I'm Steve.

Web projects shouldn't feel like a struggle. I help take them from stressful to successful!

Bio / Career Highlights

I’ve been building websites for over 20 years, with more than 13 of those years focused on Drupal development. My career has led me to working with clients in all forms — small businesses, large multinational corporations, and even the United States government. Along the way, I’ve developed a reputation for building and maintaining great websites and web applications.

Highlights:

  • Acquia Certified Drupal Developer status

  • Led architecture for compliance-heavy federal government projects, meeting WCAG, Section 508, FedRAMP, and USWDS standards

  • Built accessibility helper applications for a major financial services provider

  • Designed and migrated multi-site Drupal ecosystems for large-scale content publishers

  • Developed custom Drupal integrations with CRMs, marketing platforms, and AI-driven workflows

How I Can Help

Drupal & Web Development

  • Full Drupal Builds
    Starting from a blank slate? I can take your project from concept to launch. That means planning the architecture, designing content workflows, building themes and modules, and handling deployment. Whether it’s a small organizational site or a large-scale enterprise build, I know how to set Drupal up the right way from day one.

  • Migrations & Upgrades
    Moving to Drupal 10/11 doesn’t have to be painful. I plan migrations carefully to minimize downtime, preserve SEO, and ensure all your functionality comes with you. The result: a site that feels familiar but runs faster, safer, and smarter.

  • Custom Development
    Every organization has unique needs. I build custom modules, themes, and features that fit your workflows instead of forcing you to work around limitations. From content authoring improvements to new integrations, I make Drupal work for you.

  • Architecture & Performance
    A strong foundation means fewer headaches down the road. I design systems that scale, load quickly, and stay secure — whether it’s a small site or a multi-site network serving millions of visitors.

  • Compliance & Standards
    Accessibility and compliance aren’t just boxes to check — they’re critical. I bring real-world experience with WCAG 2.2, Section 508, FedRAMP, and USWDS to make sure your site meets the standards your users (and auditors) expect.

  • Ongoing Support & Maintenance
    A website isn’t a one-and-done project. I provide updates, security patches, audits, and feature enhancements to keep your Drupal site fast, secure, and continuously improving over time.

  • Drupal 7 Upgrade Solutions
    Drupal 7 is long past end-of-life. I’ll help you chart the best path forward, whether that’s migrating to Drupal 10/11 for full long-term support or choosing Backdrop CMS as a simpler, lower-cost option.

  • CMS Migrations (WordPress & Others → Drupal)
    Outgrown WordPress or another CMS? I’ll handle the content migration, rebuild features, and deliver a Drupal site that’s more secure, flexible, and future-ready.

  • Drupal & AI Integration
    Whether it's as simple as an LLM chatbot for assisting your customers, or utilizing APIs to tackle deep data analysis, I can customize a solution that brings the emerging power of AI to your website's engine, saving hours of accumulating man-time.

Enterprise & CRM Solutions

  • CiviCRM
    Nonprofits and associations depend on CiviCRM for fundraising, events, and member management. I configure, customize, and integrate CiviCRM with Drupal so it works seamlessly for your staff and your users.

  • Salesforce
    For organizations that run on Salesforce, connecting it with Drupal unlocks huge efficiency. I bridge the two systems so your data flows smoothly — powering marketing automation, reports, and customer relationships without double entry.

Integrations & Automation

  • AI/LLM Workflows
    AI isn’t a gimmick — it can save real time. I design content pipelines, task automations, and smart user interactions that put large language models to work in ways that are practical and business-focused.

  • Third-Party Services Integration
    If a platform offers an API, I can connect it. From payment gateways to CRMs, marketing platforms, and custom back-end systems, I make your tools talk to each other so your team can focus on the work that matters.

Consulting

  • Consulting & Strategy
    Sometimes the code isn’t the problem — the plan is. I help agencies and organizations think through proposals, project roadmaps, and technical strategies so projects don’t just launch — they succeed.

  • Performance Improvements
    Successful websites don't just function correctly, they're also fast. I can evaluate your website and offer suggestions on how to mitigate performance bottlenecks, ensuring fast and smooth delivery of your application to the browser.
