I set the vision for Islandora based on client requirements and the needs of the broader open source community. I worked with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to gather requirements and refine use cases, and I allocated resources based on work estimates to ensure that projects were delivered on time and met client expectations.I established myself as both an expert and an outspoken advocate of Islandora. I frequently delivered conference presentations, workshops, tutorials, and online demonstrations to both current and potential Islandora users, and my efforts directly resulted in new clients and contracts for discoverygarden.
