Drupal, WordPress, React and Vue.js development.
Volkman Software is Albert Volkman's studio. I build, upgrade and look after websites for clients and agencies, and publish my own apps.
Taking on new projects now, directly or through agencies.
Client work
Drupal development and support
New Drupal sites, upgrades between major versions, and ongoing support, including sites hosted on Acquia. Site search with Search API, Apache Solr and SearchStax: Drupal search.
WordPress development and support
New WordPress sites, upgrades, hosting moves and ongoing maintenance.
React and Vue.js front ends
Interactive front ends and features built in React or Vue.js, on their own or inside a Drupal or WordPress site.
Node.js servers and APIs
Node.js back ends, APIs and integrations, from small services to the server side of a larger app.
AI features and agents
Adding Claude and other models to apps and sites: features built on structured output, tools for AI agents through MCP and WebMCP, and making a site easy for AI assistants to read and cite. Unhanded's storyboards are an example.
iOS apps in Swift
iPhone and iPad apps in Swift and SwiftUI, from camera and video work to in-app purchases. Unhanded is one.
Cloudflare, AWS and Netlify
Cloudflare Workers, Pages and DNS; AWS Lambda, S3, CloudFront and Lightsail; and Netlify hosting: moving sites onto them and building serverless functions.
Written in PHP, JavaScript and Node.js, Swift, and Python.
How I work
I'm an agentic engineer. I work with AI coding agents on every project: they explore the codebase, draft a plan, write the code and run the tests, and I direct each step and review everything before it ships. That's how a one-person studio covers this many stacks and still moves quickly.
Nothing goes to production without a passing test run and my sign-off, and you get plain-English updates on what changed and why.
I work directly with organizations, and as a contractor for agencies, white-label or alongside your team.
Apps
Unhanded
A stop motion app for iPhone and iPad. Record one continuous take and it keeps a clean frame for each pose, with your hands taken out. Coming soon to the App Store.
