Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Van Efferen is a freelance Drupal developer with 12 years of experience building and maintaining web applications, specializing in backend work, Solr search, and full Drupal stack projects. He pairs technical depth—PHP, Drupal 7/8/9, server configuration—with a client-focused approach, translating business needs into pragmatic technical solutions. Patrick has led developer teams and circles, and his background in SAP and incident/change management gives him strong operational discipline for production environments. He actively keeps skills current and chooses tools that add the most value rather than following trends for their own sake. Outside of IT he trains as a yoga teacher and NLP practitioner, bringing a mindful, collaborative leadership style inspired by surfing rhythms and energy management. That blend of hands-on coding, systems thinking, and coaching makes him effective at delivering robust, user-centered web projects.
