Ivan’s journey into the world of web development began with a fundamental curiosity: he wanted to understand how things work. That mindset led him to dive deep into the world of content management systems. Among the available options, Drupal stood out not only for its flexibility and power but also for its thriving open-source community.

His leadership and expertise have earned him invitations to present at DrupalCon and DrupalGovCon, where he’s shared insights and best practices with fellow developers and architects from around the world.
A pivotal moment in Ivan’s career came early on when he had the chance to learn directly from some of the best Drupal developers in the industry. Their mentorship helped shape his approach to development—not just technically, but philosophically—and inspired him to continue the cycle of knowledge-sharing by mentoring others in turn.
