ABOUT

Freelance

I create and manage custom Drupal, HTML/CSS, and WordPress sites.
I am comfortable configuring, maintaining, and using the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. I work with hosting sites like Bluehost, Rackspace, and more to host the sites.

Full-time

Currently
- I work for CivicActions as an Associate Director of Drupal.
- I serve as backend developer working with remote Agile teams of Drupal experts to build enterprise-level websites for client organizations.
- I currently work on the Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s GlobalNET platform project. I create Drupal and ILIAS solutions and tests that make up the platform. I also work with the DevSecOps engineers to improve our continuous integration that runs on Docker and GitLab and help troubleshoot site issues in AWS. I also contribute back solutions to the Drupal and ILIAS communities.
- I worked on the General Services Administration’s (GSA) OpenACR project. OpenACR is a digital native Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) product. I create validator, editor tools with tests in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node, and Svelte. I use GitHub to manage the source, run the tests in GitHub actions and deploy the editor to GitHub pages.
- I contribute to the CivicActions accessibility practice area. Work with co-workers on improving how accessibility testing is included in our projects and community. I set up automated testing on the practice area’s website using pa11y, Cypress, Axe, and GitHub action. I shared the solutions with colleagues outside of CivicActions like the General Services Administration’s 18F team. I recently published a post on automated accessibility testing to Opensource.com.
Previously
- I worked for the University of Oregon as a Senior Developer for Information Services.
- I worked on a Scrum team with 3 developers, 2 designers, and a product owner to develop and deploy web-based sites. I was the scrum master and I helped coach team members on scrum practices.
- I worked on an Angular + .NET solution that was deployed with continuous integration + deployment to Azure. In Azure, I helped set up and use multiple app services, functions, application insights, storage accounts, Graph API, Azure DevOps, and MySQL service.
- I created customized install profiles, modules, and other Drupal features to meet the client’s requirements.
- I was an active member of the UO Drupal committee.
- I worked with system administrators to create Docker solutions for developers to run WordPress, Drupal, and other applications in Mac, Windows, and Linux environments. This included a Docker Swarm setup to host our legacy sites.
