As a Drupal Engineer for Third and Grove I performed site building tasks on large websites that reached millions of people. This consisted of building site functionality in contrib modules such as Views, Context, and Panels among others. It also required development of custom modules when needs could not be met by a contrib module and writing custom release scripts to efficiently deploy updates.Third and Grove was an incredibly fast-paced environment that required mindfulness of project budgets and timelines. I also occasionally helped build WordPress sites and audited websites and servers of potential clients.

The majority of my work was flat HTML and CSS written to be a pixel perfect match for Photoshop composites. I also helped guide technical aspects of projects during the planning phases.

As a web designer and developer at SolutionsIC I interfaced directly with clients to design and build sites to their specifications. Sites were built in flat HTML, PHP, and the content management system Joomla!.After the company transitioned to its new name "AxtaWeb", I took on a larger role and working with a small team developed a custom Joomla! component tied into web services to handle site backups, deployment and even construction. I also wrote documentation for the company's various processes and operations.
