I am the lead developer building a highly personalized global intranet for 7,500 employees. Using OpenAtrium/Drupal 7, this project increases employee engagement, reduces international communication barriers and relieves overloaded email inboxes. I am responsible for site architecture, back-end development, advanced theming, performance, security, and content guidance. During this project, I have: * Implemented SimpleSAML/ADFS 3.0 authentication.* Developed an elegant architecture that creates a unique experience for each user while promoting collaboration and sharing. * Implemented a robust agile workflow. * Improved documentation practices.* Improved code stability and reduced complexity. * In addition to writing custom modules, I used OpenAtrium, Organic Groups, Panels/Panopoly, Message/Message Notify, Flag, Solr Search, Migrate, Rules, and (of course) Views and Features. I am also doing development work on our Drupal 8 platform, and supporting our Magento ecommerce build process.
