01 / The person behind the name
Hi, I’m ArthurA developer with deep Drupal roots and a soft spot for good ideas, especially the ones that need a little help getting started.
I’ve spent 9+ years building websites and applications with teams in Vienna and Berlin. Backend development, decoupled frontends, content migrations, and the connections in between.
What I enjoy most is the moment an idea becomes real for the people behind it. A podcast that went on air. A large migration, brought live step by step. A colleague whose talent finally got the recognition it deserved.
Drupal is more than the technology I work with. I’m part of its community, and the people and shared knowledge behind it matter to me as much as the code. I share what I know and help colleagues grow. And when an idea of my own won’t leave me alone, I usually end up building it.
A little proof
of the Drupal part.
Certified Drupal Developer (opens in a new tab)
Certified Drupal Backend Specialist (opens in a new tab)2023 - 2026
Fullstack Developer
Back in Vienna 🇦🇹, back at drunomics, building decoupled Drupal applications with Lupus Decoupled Drupal and Nuxt on enterprise scale. I was responsible for the migration of Volkswagen’s Infoportal from its predecessor systems, and on mossbo I drove the brand identity and contributed to product and roadmap decisions. I push for better workflows across the team and naturally mentor junior colleagues.
2020 - 2022
Backend Developer
Backend developer at a warm-hearted Drupal agency rooted in the open source community. I shipped backend work for projects like the World Organization of the Scout Movement and UTBW, and authored a module to detect duplicate images in the media library. On the side I explored modern frontends with web components and supported junior colleagues in growing their skillsets.
2019 - 2020
Backend Developer
Backend developer at IBM iX’s Berlin 🇩🇪 agency, building custom Drupal modules, content models, and integrations for enterprise web projects.
2017 - 2019
Fullstack Developer
My start at drunomics in Vienna 🇦🇹, a Drupal agency specialized on publishers. I grew quickly into frontend, backend and DevOps work and was given the opportunity to take responsibility as tech lead on several projects. The supportive senior team and the Drupal open source ecosystem shaped how I work to this day.
2015 - 2017
A 3-semester academic program covering mobile and web development alongside project management and IT business fundamentals. This is where I picked up the foundations that carried me into my first developer roles.
2012 - 2015
Three years of higher mathematics sharpened the abstract and logical thinking I rely on every day as a developer. I left the program before completing it once I realized I wanted to build practical things rather than prove them.
02 / What I do
Wherever your idea stands, I can join in. From the first concept to a live website. Hands-on development, a view of the whole system, and a collaborative way of working.
Before anything gets built: what is the idea really, who is it for, and what does it need? I help sort out the concept, the product decisions, and the story that makes people care.
Custom modules, thoughtful content models, and integrations, built properly, so your Drupal site works the way you need it to.
Bring your content into a new home. I untangle legacy structures and move them step by step, with a clear path from old to new.
A strong Drupal backend and a frontend with room to breathe. I build decoupled applications and help the whole stack work together.
Two ways to work together
I join your team as a freelance developer, on any Drupal project that needs custom work. From one tricky feature to a whole new platform.
Architecture and tech decisions, audits and code reviews, migration plans, and AI-assisted workflows for your team. Advice you can act on.
How I work
AI lets me build faster, so ideas reach the real world sooner. But speed only counts if the result is right. I work with several AI models in an agentic workflow and stay the human in the loop, from architecture through review and testing. I also help teams set up workflows like this.
I set the direction and decide how the pieces fit together.
I review the changes and take responsibility for the code.
I test the result against what the project actually needs.
Hands-on, advice, or a bit of both?
Let’s find out what fits.
03 / Selected work
A few projects I’ve contributed to with good teams. Here’s what I brought to the table.
Content migration · Decoupled Drupal
Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Audi moved from different legacy systems onto one shared Infoportal. I improved the migration system, fixed issues one by one so progress stayed visible, and built backend features along the way.
Brand & story · Product decisions · Cloud CMS
At drunomics we had built a strong product: a fully managed cloud CMS with a decoupled frontend. It was still lacking a brand that made its vision visible. I took the initiative, gathered input from the team and our designer, and pitched the brand to leadership. The result is mossbo.
Drupal backend · 1xDXP
For the new website of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, I built and configured the Drupal backend, based on 1xINTERNET’s 1xDXP.
04 / Projects & experiments
Some ideas won’t leave me alone, so I build them. Open-source tools, side projects, and a home for three historians’ podcast.
Open source / Drupal module
An opinionated Drupal setup for podcasts. Content types, an RSS feed, and optional download analytics, ready to go.
Website / Podcast
Three historians had a podcast idea and a tight budget. One Drupal backend now powers their feed and a custom Nuxt website.
Independent product / Web app
Collect places, compare dates, and make a decision together. A group travel planner that guests can join with a link.
He is an exceptional all-rounder who brings a rare mix of technical skill, dedication, and genuine enthusiasm to the team. [...] He also has a way of seeing a problem from angles others miss.
The guy knows what he’s doing and doesn’t do things half-assed. If there’s ever a chance to work with him again, I’m 100% in.
I worked with Arthur for several years at drunomics and he's the kind of engineer every team wants.
What stands out most to me is that Arthur is both highly competent and genuinely committed. [...] I’m confident any team would benefit from having him on board.
He's the full-stack developer you build long-running platforms around [...] He shows up. Brings a smile to your face and works hard. Those are traits I value on my team.
Arthur is a highly skilled backend developer with deep Drupal expertise, actively contributing to the open source community. He consistently delivers solutions that exceed expectations, demonstrating a strong technical understanding and a proactive mindset. He's also a valuable team player with a great sense of humor.
When I grow up I want to be like Arthur :)
05 / Let’s make something happen
Tell me about your idea, your team, and what’s in the way. Hands-on or as a consultant, let’s see what we can build together.
