Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAllan Chappell is an experienced Drupal solutions architect and PHP backend developer with 13 years of broad web engineering and QA experience, now applying his technical leadership to run the tech and operations at a family farm in Red Oak, Texas. He has led development teams, built testing cultures using Selenium (and helped transition to Behat/Mink), and owned architecture, estimation, and delivery for agency and enterprise clients. Comfortable across the full stack, Allan pairs hands-on coding and tools (PHP, Zend, Drupal, Selenium, Linux) with process improvements and mentoring that consistently raise quality and velocity. Notably, he moved from pioneering automated testing and developer tooling in product teams to turning a small farm profitable by integrating IoT, online marketing, and inventory systems. He brings a pragmatic, adaptable approach—equally at home debugging legacy systems or shaping new technical standards.
