Summary
Johan Dierinck is a seasoned Drupal developer with nearly a decade of professional experience building and migrating complex web platforms across Drupal 7–10, often leveraging Symfony components and PHP back-end expertise. He excels at custom module and theme development, large-scale content migrations (including a 15,000-node museum migration), multilingual implementations, media management, and JSON API integrations for both traditional and decoupled architectures. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs solid back-end skills (PHP, MySQL, Doctrine) with practical front-end know-how (HTML, Sass, JS, templating) to deliver end-to-end solutions. A lifelong learner by habit, Johan moved from municipal IT leadership into freelance and agency roles, bringing a rare mix of operational discipline, content strategy sensibility, and hands-on engineering to projects. Based in Antwerp, he currently contributes his Drupal expertise at Randstad Digital Belgium, with a track record of refactoring and stabilizing high-profile, multi-language sites.
