Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Bimson is a Contract Technical Architect and Drupal specialist with over 15 years of production software experience and a decade of sustained professional contracting across publishing, government, finance, and hospitality sectors. He combines hands-on Drupal and PHP expertise with architectural leadership—designing greenfield platforms, large-scale migrations (including D7→D8/9 and 250k+ record migrations), and decoupled integrations using REST and Node.js API layers. As Technical Director at Bison Digital and in multiple senior contractor roles, he’s driven adoption of CI/CD, automated testing, semantic versioning, and reusable component architectures to improve release confidence and long-term maintainability. Recent work at Cambridge University Press & Assessment highlights his ability to stabilise legacy migrations while enabling independent evolution of Drupal and React checkout systems. He has a practical knack for untangling monoliths—replacing brittle integrations with clean API boundaries—and for translating complex third-party systems (e.g., Opera PMS) into reliable, phased delivery plans. Based in Hove, Zach pairs pragmatic engineering with strategic governance to reduce platform risk and accelerate delivery.
