09-2014 – 03-2016 Junior Drupal Web Developer, Storleden, Norrköping, Sweden
I worked both as a frontend and backend developer. As a frontend developer, my
responsibilities and tasks involved:
Building custom templates and themes from Photoshop designs provided by the
designer. The themes were mainly subthemes based on other Drupal themes. By using
subthemes, I was able to reuse code and functionality from the parent themes which in
turn saved a lot of time. Moreover, working in drupal’s theme layer has enabled me to
perfect my skills in HTML and PHP templating.
Implementing CSS/SASS/SCSS/CSS3 to style the templates and themes as per the
Photoshop designs. This stage helped me hone my CSS/SASS/SCSS/CSS3 skills.
Additionally, I learnt how to be detail oriented in order to produce pixel perfect designs
that were satisfactory to the clients.
Implementing JavaScript/Jquery to add any animation effects if needed.
As a backend developer, my responsibilities and tasks were:
Site building. This stage entailed the architecture and structure of content to suit a
client’s needs. I achieved this by working with drupal’s content types, blocks, menus,
views, panels, taxonomy, user profiles, navigation, contributed modules and various
other tools available in Drupal.
Custom module development. Building custom modules exposed me into all aspects of
the Drupal API. This exposure played a significant role in me honing my skills in PHP and
the Drupal API system.
Performing Security Updates. Here, I worked on updating all of our clients’ Drupal
websites as soon as a security update of either Drupal core or contributed modules was
available.
Fixing bugs that arose in a site, both in the frontend and backend.
