Christian López Espínola

Christian López Espínola is a backend developer and a frequent contributor to Drupal core. During the Drupal 8 development cycle, he helped make Drupal one of the best platforms for internationalized sites and also contributed to the migration framework still used today. More recently, he helped start the initiative to introduce administrative Dashboards into Drupal core.

Christian spent seven years at Lingotek developing and supporting localization integrations for Drupal, WordPress, and marketing platforms like Marketo. His expertise ranges from architecture, proofs of concept, maintenance, and automation for high-availability web platforms.

At Lullabot, he has worked on Iowa’s Digital Transformation project, helping among other things with the automation of one-click deployments for Iowa’s 40+ websites or automatic audits of content with Github Actions. Editors across the state use the interface he developed to create dynamic content listings.

Christian speaks five languages, enjoys Lindy Hop dancing, and is part-owner in one of the oldest bars in Seville, Spain. He currently lives in that same city.
