Alex Dubovskoy.
I build web apps and infrastructure.
Drupal developer with 15+ years experience. I've started from drupal 5, but last 3 years I am mostly working with drupal 10/11 projects.
It would be more accurate to call me an infrastructure engineer now, since in recent years I’ve been mostly focused on maintaining infrastructure in the context of high-load projects with business logic built around Drupal.
I provide a full cycle development including analysis, research, programming, testing, maintenance and support with proficiency in Drupal, Symfony, SvelteJS, VueJS, Git, Linux & Docker.
I write in the following programming languages: Golang, Javascript (NodeJS), PHP

About me
I am currently living in Montenegro, but soon I will relocate to Portugal.
Twelve years ago, I started a Drupal agency for the local market, called RADON. I was the CTO of the company. I’ve configured our CI processes and created our drupal-distributions for robust site creation. We created more than 200 new sites per month and more than 10 000 clients at the final. I was the tech leader of our internal development team. Tasks were not only about drupal itself but also about hosting infrastructure. I’ve been working with Apache Solr hosting, ElasticSearch, GitlabCI, docker infrastructure, etc.
Also provided frontend experience: vuejs, svelte for decoupled sites.
Because we have a particular product and a strong unit economy, it was a bit tedious position after 10 years of work, so I decided to move on and work on a more significant project on the world market. That’s how I get to SystemSeed Company.
In SystemSeed I was in the position FullStack Drupal Engeneer, but it also included hosting and frontend scope of responsibility. I’ve written react frontend for fully decoupled site Concern Worldwide. Also, I am proud of working with decoupled LMS solution based on React and Drupal: ANU LMS. My clients were: the World health organisation, Concern Worldwide (an international humanitarian organisation), and some European universities. More than 600 000 end-users used and will use my accessibility improvements for Concern Worldwide's main site and satellite sites. It was huge work to make react app more keyboard accessible and accessible from screen readers.
Now I'm working as Infrastructure Engineer at the Switzerland company "Dimando", helping to level up CI-infrastructure and dev team performance. We're working with government and education organizations. I'm in charge of the company's infrastructure standards.
Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
- Drupal
- Symfony
- Docker, Ansible, Terraform, K8S
- GitlabCI, DronCI, CircleCI, BitBucket pipelines
- Javascript ES6+
- React / Next
- Svelte / SvelteKit
- Vuejs / Nuxt
- Web3
- Cryptocurrency, DeFi
Some things I've build
In my area of responsibility is the security of IMU’s servers and web applications.
IMU awards the world’s most prestigious mathematics prizes, including the Fields Medal, the Nevanlinna Prize (now the Abacus Medal), the Gauss Prize, and the Chern Medal, which are considered the equivalents of the Nobel Prize in mathematics.
I am responsible for developing the platform for the engineering team, setting up the K8S environment, and maintaining the infrastructure. I also implemented an E2E testing system for all our pipelines for this project.
I've created two different Drupal disctribution for e-commerce and landing page sites.
They are included full CI process for rapidly fast automatic deployment.
As a Drupal Fullstack developer in SystemSeed company I worked on EQUIP digital platform. It's an incredible LMS solution used by the most influential health care organizations on the planet.
As a Drupal Full stack developer in System Seed company, I've improved accessibility for one of the biggest humanitarian organisations in Europe. It's a fully decoupled frontend, based on React/Next JS.
