Alexander Schell
Alex Schell has been building with Drupal since before most agencies knew what headless architecture meant. Based in Sachsenheim near Stuttgart, he runs Activate Media GmbH, a digital agency he founded in 2021 that counts Nestlé, BMW, and Deutsche Bahn among its clients.
His Drupal work ranges from large-scale editorial platforms to complex headless setups. He led frontend development for Deutsche Bahn/DB Systel, served as Lead Developer on the Ruhr-Universität Bochum's Drupal 10 platform, and acted as Digital Solution Architect for Nestlé. He also teaches Drupal at the gfu in Cologne, covering both Drupal 10/11 and headless implementations.
Before founding Activate Media, Alex spent over 15 years in agency and freelance work, including 56 months at 1&1 on the frontend side. He holds a state certification as Mediengestalter Digital+Print (best of year, 2006) and is a registered BAFA consultant.
