About

I’m is a web developer based in Belgium. I share my time working between calibrate and codana.

For a few years, I was specialized in Drupal, and Drupal’s Search API and Facets modules in particular. Nowadays I spend more time with Laravel and React, but also still work with Drupal sometimes.
My current focus is working on config validation/recipes in Drupal Core in my open source time.

I try to spend my free time outdoors, by going hiking or cycling.

I’ve spoken at a few conferences around Europe. I also helped organise, Drupal Dev Days in Ghent (2020; moved to 2022), as well as Drupal Camps (Ghent 2019 and 2024), as well as a festival in the past. Of course I also help run some of our local users groups and I’m a board member of the belgian drupal association (dugbe vzw).

You can find more around the web, where you can usually find me as borisson.
