I have extensive experience delivering large-scale, enterprise Drupal multisite platforms. I serves as a board member of Drupal4Gov, hold the Acquia certified Drupal Expert certifications for various versions of Drupal (7/8/9+..), and regularly lead advanced sessions and trainings at the largest Drupal conferences, including DrupalCon NA & Europe.
After serving as a Technical Architect at Acquia, I founded Debug Academy with a deliberate focus on depth of expertise and hands-on senior leadership. Debug Academy operates as a highly selective, senior-led consultancy, intentionally engaging in a limited number of projects at a time to ensure consistent, expert-level involvement throughout delivery. Ashraf has held leading roles on complex Drupal projects including the WhiteHouse "We The People" website, IRS.gov, AAMC.org, and NIH.gov. When you work with Debug Academy, Ashraf is personally involved in a hands-on capacity, alongside his tight-knit team of experts who regularly exceed expectations across the full project lifecycle.
Additionally, you can find various live training courses (online & onsite available) at Debug Academy ( https://debugacademy.com ). The courses are live, hands-on, expert-led (typically taught by Ashraf), and teach Drupal Frontend, Backend, Caching, AI usage & tradeoffs, and how to approach projects like a seasoned architect. Custom trainings are available upon request.
I'm passionate about keeping up with the latest technologies, maintaining a high level of integrity in all that I do, and giving back.
P.S. Keep an eye out for Drupito - Build, Launch, Host, and Manage your Drupal sites with more ease than you ever thought was possible.
