Résumé

All the mysterious, behind the scenes things that make Drupal work? Yeah. I do that. For the Feds.

Working with a team of 6 other developers to mine data from disperate corporate IT resources for presentation to internal stakeholders and use by customers for bill paying and SOE monitoring. Data is retrieved from many different database types, as well as APIs and homogeneously presented to the end users via an API consumed by the Angular JS and Bootstrap front end. Life cycle management is carried out by Grunt scripts and testing is performed by PHPUnit on the back end and node.js managed frameworks on the front.

I work with teams of developers to implement internal order and project management solutions based on end-client needs in a Drupal 7 environment. These portals allow users within the client organizations to transparently offer print-to-order signage solutions for high volume customers.

Culligan Water (Minnesota)

On contract, I converted http://culliganwater.com/ from a semi-static PHP4 site to a customized Drupal experience, and split out http://www.culliganbottledwater.com/ and http://culliganindustrialwater.com/ to serve the client's SEO goals.
