Projects

Here are some of the websites I’ve built. On all of these I was either the sole or lead developer. I have a design background myself but am happy to work with other designers for the graphic aspects of a project. These partnerships are indicated where applicable.

Margaret Thatcher Foundation

Drupal, Solr • At its core, this is a 77,000-item database (and growing!) of documents by the former Prime Minister and members of her administration. I migrated it from classic ASP and SQL Server to Drupal and Apache Solr. The site appears simple but has extensive customization to support various content types with lots of metadata, automatic linking between related items, specialized editorial workflows, etc..
