Senior Drupal Developer with 15+ years of experience specializing in back-end development with strong front-end capabilities. Known for solving complex problems and continuous technical growth.
Pushing the boundaries of my knowledge is what keeps me motivated; I consistently tackle challenges outside my comfort zone to deliver innovative solutions.
SECURITY OPTIMIZATION: When a client's websites faced attacks consuming excessive resources, I conducted a deep-dive into web security vulnerabilities, particularly SQL Injections. I developed a custom upstream detection module that successfully reduced the attack surface and decreased server load, providing meaningful performance improvement without compromising genuine user experience.
QUALITY ASSURANCE LEADERSHIP: Recognizing gaps in our testing process, I started implementing PHPUnit tests for new features and refactored code. This initiative's objective was pretty simple: reduce regression issues and increase the development team's confidence during deployments. I call it "code insurance".
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY: I strategically leverage Drupal 'contrib' modules and established libraries whenever appropriate, recognizing the value of community support and built-in security coverage they provide.
Fluent in both English and French, offering professional services in either language.

I had the pleasure of working with Renaud for just over a year, Our company was tackling a major project rebuild moving from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8. With Renaud's vast experience in migrations we had him assist a team of less experienced developers in completing the migrations. Renaud was an absolute pleasure to work with and took full ownership of his work. Renaud's ability to integrate himself with the team was seamless, along with his ability to anticipate potential problems was a truly appreciated.I had the pleasure of working with Renaud for just over a year, Our company was tackling a major project rebuild moving from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.

We were lucky to find Renaud at the start of a year long Drupal upgrade (7 to 8) and we leaned on him to run a 3 person migration team. He was our migration expert! Once migrations wrapped up, he transitioned to the back end team and helped us with site building and module development. Outside of development, Renaud is a personable guy and is easy to work with.Scott Joudry Certified Drupal Expert
