Ram S.

Senior Full-Stack Developer with 13+ years of experience building SaaS platforms, enterprise applications, and modern web products using React, PHP/Drupal, and AWS. I work across the full development lifecycle — understanding the business problem, designing the technical approach, building the solution, and supporting it in production. My background combines deep backend and CMS experience with modern React development. In recent years, I've worked extensively with React, JavaScript/TypeScript, Drupal, PHP, APIs, search platforms, and AWS, including progressively decoupled applications where React powers the user experience and Drupal provides the backend APIs, authentication, and content/data layer. Drupal 10 → Drupal 11 Upgrades : If your Drupal 10 website needs to move to Drupal 11, I can handle the upgrade end-to-end from the initial compatibility audit through development, testing, and production deployment. A few examples of my work: ✔ SaaS platform – React + Drupal + Solr Helped re-architect a traditional Drupal application into a progressively decoupled React experience, including search and dashboard functionality, resulting in approximately 50% faster search UX. ✔ AWS & production infrastructure Hands-on ownership of AWS infrastructure including EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, Route53 and security/backup operations. Infrastructure improvements helped reduce AWS costs by approximately 25%. ✔ Enterprise Drupal development Extensive Drupal experience from Drupal 6 through Drupal 11, including custom modules, migrations/upgrades, APIs, Search API/Solr, Commerce, integrations, performance optimization and complex content platforms. ✔ API & third-party integrations Experience building and integrating REST APIs and services including payment systems, authentication/SSO, search services, data platforms and external SaaS APIs. ✔ AI-assisted products & development Experience integrating LLM APIs into web applications and using modern AI development tools such as ChatGPT and Codex as part of a structured engineering workflow.
