Franz Vanderlinde is a Senior Lead Developer and solutions architect with 17 years of hands-on experience and more than a decade focused on custom Drupal development and contribution to the Drupal project. He combines deep technical architecture and deployment expertise—servers, CI/CD, and code management—with a track record of leading teams and defining technical strategy across agencies and consultancies. Franz has repeatedly bridged pre-sales, discovery and delivery, scaling development practices for teams of 30+ while also acting as country manager and one-man startup operator earlier in his career. Trained as a computer engineer at UNICAMP and later a student of social sciences, he brings a rare mix of rigorous engineering discipline and broader humanistic perspective to product and team decisions. Passionate about literature, art and philosophy, he often draws on cultural insight to shape user-centered digital experiences.
