OpenScholar is a Drupal distribution targeting universities and academics. Its core feature is the ability to create and manage virtual sites, allowing for a single Drupal installation to be host to thousands of separate sites. It also features extensive work to make content management easier for less technically-inclined clients, like university professors.
I served as a full-stack developer for the project, making extensive changes and improvements on both the back and front ends of the platform. I owned large portions of the platform, pushed for a newer UIS build on AngularJS and REST APIs to improve the user experience, and expanded automated testing capabilities. During major migrations, I planned the next steps, looked for difficulties, estimated what could be salvaged and what needed rewriting, refactored major features for easier maintenance in the future, and established new data mechanisms for future migrations.
