NORMAN KÄMPER-LEYMANN DRUPAL DEVELOPER


PROFILE

I started web development as a student assistant at university. Back then there
was Plone and MODX and lots of !important CSS, no preprocessors, no package
managers. Eventually I met WordPress and touched the first PHP templates. During
a trainee I finally learned to know Drupal. I was overwhelmed with this complex
project. I started to follow issues on drupal.org and applied the first patches
myself. It's a pleasure to see so many people from all over the world working
together on the same cause. I wanted to be part of it. Some day I finally
submitted my first patch to drupal.org. What a feeling!
From all the job postings the ones with a focus on Drupal are the ones which I'm
most interested in. Drupal never gets boring and while web development is moving
really fast Drupal underwent a major upgrade and nowadays can be combined with
any custom front-end you want. During the last 3 years I zoomed in on DevOps and
continuous integration which got much easier thanks to Composer and
configuration management. I'm now looking forward to finally get my hands on
some more JavaScript.

COMMUNITY

 * Drupal User Group Berlin (Link)
   Organizer
   Together with 3 other Drupal enthusiasts I organize the Drupal User Group
   Berlin meetup. Every first Thursday evening of the month around 10 to 20
   Drupalista get together in Berlin to exchange their Drupal experiences,
   opinions and ideas. As organizers its our job to host the event, call for
   talks, do the moderation, or to simply keep things rolling.


EDUCATION

 * Bachelor's Degree (December 2011)
   Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
   I have a bachelor's degree in Area Studies focusing on Asia and Africa, and
   in the subsidiary field of Gender Studies. Two quite interdisciplinary
   academic fields, which enable you to look behind so many curtains.
   Post-colonialism, lingustics, cultural studies, Japanese language were some
   of the subjects I studied most intensively.


EXPERIENCE

 * 1xINTERNET (Jan 2021 – current)
   Senior Full-Stack Developer
   1xINTERNET is a leading Drupal agency in Europe. Offices in Germany, Spain
   and Iceland. Colleagues from many different countries and diverse
   backgrounds. Remote-first working everywhere. I work there as a full-stack
   developer in lots of different projects for lots of different clients, while
   exchanging knowledge and news with all my supportive co-workers in the
   company's Slack channels. Often I support the front-enders when it comes to
   deeper Drupal tasks. Often I fill in as a back-ender in ongoing projects. And
   sometimes I assist the DevOps team by preparing projects for the final
   go-live or fixing the pipelines.
 * IBM iX – Aperto (Jan 2020 – Dec 2020)
   Senior PHP Developer
   Aperto is a digital agency owned by IBM. They realize huge enterprise
   projects for really interesting clients using numerous technologies and
   methodologies. Most of the time I worked on a rather complex Drupal-based
   business tool for a big German health insurance company. Most of my work was
   backend-heavy but I also built a new base theme for the application.
 * Ayusa-Intrax (Apr 2017 – Dec 2019)
   Lead Web Developer
   Ayusa-Intrax is the German branch of the US-Japanese Intrax Corp. which sells
   worldwide student exchanges. I coordinated a number of Drupal 7 sites to be
   relaunched as one Drupal 8 multi-site together with a front-ender and another
   back-ender. I led the team into contininous integration, pull requests and
   code reviews. Together we also redesigned and relaunched the completely
   refurbished WordPress blog (link) with a beautiful new theme based on
   Bootstrap.
 * CB.e AG (Jul 2016 – Mar 2017)
   Web Developer
   Back again at CB.e. This time I started the job with a front-end focus. But
   soon took over my first Drupal 8 projects. I loved this team. Some of them
   are very skilled and engaged people to learn from, always aiming to make
   things work smoothly.
 * b-connect (Sep 2015 – Jun 2016)
   Web Developer
   A small Berlin-base Drupal agency with some interesting projects to learn by.
   I mainly worked on a huge multi-language Drupal marketing multi-site to
   implement quizzes and gamification.
 * Affinitas (Mar 2015 – Aug 2015)
   Web Developer
   Rocket Internet, yeehaw. They had an online dating platform implemented in
   multiple markets around the globe. And they had a huge Drupal multi-site
   running for marketing and customer care purposes. Multi-language,
   multi-design, multi-content, multi-everyting. Here I learned to love planning
   pokers and sprinting.
 * {berlin-coding} (Sep 2014 – Feb 2015)
   Web Developer
   I wanted to freelance for a while together with some developer friends. Being
   your own boss is a nice thing. But after a while I missed working in bigger
   teams with more dedicated roles and project management.
 * CB.e AG (Mar 2013 – Aug 2014)
   Junior Web Developer
   CB.e is a full service agency in Berlin. This is where I finally started to
   work with Drupal after I graduated from university. I was looking for a job
   that let me take up the IT work I did as student assistant. I started as
   trainee and became a junior web developer thereafter.


PROJECTS

 * Rebuild Cache Access (Link)
   Rebuild Cache Access was my first project on drupal.org. It solves an age-old
   Drupal problem where you sometimes need to give other roles than the ones
   with the administer site configuration permission the ability to simply flush
   all caches. The module provides its own permission and a nice toolbar button
   to trigger drupal_flush_all_caches(). As simple, as effective.
 * Drupal CircleCI Behat (Link)
   Drupal 8 with Composer and configuration management made Drupal DevOps much
   easier. At the time I initiated this sample project there where not many
   useful samples on automated Drupal deployment. I chose CircleCI to have a
   Drupal instance built in containers and then run automated tests against it.
   Selenium controls a headless Chromium browser and Behat clicks through the
   site and takes screenshots as soon as something goes wrong.
