Hart Lorenzo S. Pableo

Full-Stack Web Developer • Cebu, Philippines

About

Full-stack developer with a track record of building performant, accessible web systems for global clients across health research, higher education, clean energy, and disability services.

Specializing professionally in Drupal and WordPress, I lead features from initial concept through to production. My core expertise covers custom module/theme engineering, backend API design, third-party integrations, and web performance optimization. Outside of client projects, I design and build personal projects using modern PHP frameworks, with a primary focus on Symfony and Drupal.

I bring a strong focus on taking ownership of tasks, collaborating closely with teams across different timezones, and ensuring projects are delivered on time without compromising code quality. Currently, I am looking to progress my career into web systems development, focusing on diving deeper into Symfony and Drupal to design and scale complex modern business solutions.
