Hi, I’m Hari, a Senior Drupal Backend Developer based in Ernakulam, Kerala. With over 10 years of experience in the Drupal ecosystem, I specialize in architecting secure, high-performance digital solutions for large-scale corporate, government, and international organizations.
My focus is on bridging the gap between complex business requirements and robust backend architecture, ensuring sites are not just functional, but scalable and secure.
Current Focus & Impact
I am currently serving as a Drupal Technical Architect (Contract) for UNICEF, where I maintain the UNICEF Help platform. My role involves ensuring high availability and top-tier security for a global audience, alongside my work as a Senior Backend Developer at QED42.

Open Source & Community
I am a firm believer in the "give back" philosophy of open source. I maintain a popular Docker LAMP stack for Drupal Development to help developers spin up local environments quickly. You can follow my contributions and credits on my Drupal.org profile.
Let’s Connect
I am always open to discussing technical architecture, Drupal migrations, or open-source initiatives.
