Sergio H.

I'm a web developer with a broad set of experience including everything from installation, setup and management of a bare VM or dedicated server for web applications and databases, to full custom development of Drupal applications, QA testing and deployment of projects, writing user application manuals and so on.

I'm also one of few developers on African soil that is certified by Acquia, the corporate arm and certification authority of the Drupal organization.

The bulk of my knowledge is centered around Drupal where I worked on large corporate and NGO projects including Disney, World Economic Forum, Doctors Without Borders, JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) and UCT (University of Cape Town) with some positioned internationally and others more specifically for the South African market.

In more recent years I have gained exposure and working knowledge of React and Node.js and can provide decoupling services to Drupal clients, working on either the React frontend, API backend, or both.

I always follow best industry practices and coding standards and have a good working knowledge of Git workflow which I use in current projects.

From the project management side of things, I can manage the full lifecycle of a project with everything from assisting the client in developing their ideas into a workable concept, to in-depth project breakdowns and costing, deadlines and time scheduling, setting up of milestones and tracking progress of the project from start to launch.

I have a good work ethic, exercise time management well and I communicate frequently with clients, keeping them in the loop on updates with their project and handling any queries they might have.

Some periphery services I also offer include: newsletter and newsletter platform management, content management, website security & anti-spam, e-commerce store management and of course writing end-user application manuals for site editors and providing training for your employees to bring them up to speed on how to effectively use your website or web application and the best practices that go with it.
