I was very fortunate to work with Open Road on one of the biggest projects of my career, Pokémon.com. As a contracted Drupal Developer, I was brought in to help Open Road's awesome team finish the transition of this large, multilingual site to Drupal.The goal wasn't a complete redesign, but a transfer from older CMS to Drupal. This involved refactoring styles, scripts, and developing a custom theme to maintain current design and branding while allowing Drupal to work its magic in the background.Open Road's team of skilled developers were new to Drupal development. And part of my role was knowledge transfer and mentoring; helping them understand how and why Drupal worked the way it does so they can continue to develop it after launch.But it wasn't completely one-sided. I had the opportunity to extend my skills too. Open Road integrated newer technologies like VueJS and APIs into Drupal and learning how these pieces fit together was worth more than gold to me.

An ESL school in China with over 15 years experience, BDW has taught 10,000+ students to speak English.I developed a complete software system ("slideware") for 13 curriculum books using standard web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, and jQuery. Also developed and implemented an assortment of games to compliment the curriculum slideware.Both games and slideware involve several custom-coded interactive patterns such as draggable items and sketching in colour on screen (using ).These tools have become a staple in how foreign language teachers used interactive whiteboards along side established books and curricula.I also spent time designing and developing printed books and successfully explored a combination of markdown, CSS, and SVG to fast-track my print workflows.

An English Training Center committed to taking education to the next level. We used modern technologies such as iPads to help students with learning challenges.

The original hi-res logo file was lost to time before I started. The logo displayed below is my redraw (completed in Illustrator) of a low-res file.
