An independent Drupal consultant who tells you what is actually wrong.
I am an independent Drupal consultant with 12+ years on enterprise platforms and an Acquia certification on Drupal 10. Companies bring me in when they need a straight answer about their Drupal site: why it is slow, whether it is secure, what an upgrade really costs, or whether their agency is building the right thing.
Because I am not selling you a team of developers, the advice is not shaped by how many billable hours it creates. You get a clear diagnosis, a prioritised plan, and the option to have me carry it out.
Start a conversationConsulting services
- Architecture reviews: an outside look at your content model, custom code, and infrastructure, with the risks ranked by cost and likelihood.
- Performance audits: query profiling, cache hit rates, render caching, and front-end weight, with fixes ordered by impact.
- Security reviews: update posture, custom code, permissions, and hosting configuration.
- Drupal 11 upgrade readiness: every contrib module checked for compatibility, deprecated code flagged, and a realistic plan and estimate.
- Vendor and agency oversight: a technical second opinion on proposals, estimates, and delivered work.
- Ongoing advisory: a monthly retainer with priority response from someone who already knows your platform.
Fixed-price starting points
If you have one specific problem, the Drupal Fix resolves one reproducible issue on Drupal 9, 10, or 11 within 48 hours for $200. If it cannot be fixed in scope, you get the diagnosis and a refund.
If you are weighing a Drupal 11 upgrade, the Upgrade Readiness Audit gives you the full picture in five business days for $750, before you commit budget to the work itself.
Who I consult for
Product and engineering leaders who own a Drupal platform but do not have a senior Drupal specialist in-house. Marketing teams whose site has become fragile. Agencies that need senior Drupal depth on a single project. Organisations about to sign a large Drupal contract who want an independent view first.

FAQ
- What does a Drupal consultant do?
- A Drupal consultant assesses an existing or planned Drupal platform and advises on what to do: architecture, performance, security, upgrades, or vendor choices. Some consultants only advise; I also implement, so the recommendations are grounded in what it takes to actually build them.
- How much does Drupal consulting cost?
- Two engagements are fixed price: a single Drupal Fix is $200 and a Drupal 11 Upgrade Readiness Audit is $750. Larger reviews and advisory retainers are scoped on a short call, and you get a price before work starts.
- Can you review work done by our agency?
- Yes. An independent code and architecture review is one of the most common requests I get, whether before signing a proposal, at a milestone, or when a project has gone off track.
- Do you work with clients outside India?
- Yes. I am based in Lucknow, India, and work with clients worldwide, including the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Work is done remotely, with calls scheduled to overlap with your working hours.
