The Open Polytechnic website was built on the Silverstripe CMS. As a full-stack developer for 5+ years, I played a crucial role in bringing the website from a legacy design to a new, responsive design. I also developed multiple plugins that helped the content manager create engaging and interactive content for a better user experience. I improved the performance and security by migrating the website to better infrastructure in Azure Cloud services.

An eZ Publish add-on that allowed CMS users to use the web interface to create image maps with multiple animations without knowledge of HTML. I developed the add-on using jQuery to build the UI, making it very simple for users to create an image map and assign actions to the image map, such as opening a video, moving an element, and submitting the form.

I built a WordPress plugin to integrate the Wentworthville Tamil Study Centre (www.wtsc.org.au) application with their aXcelerate SMS to create new and updated existing contacts. The vtsr60/torro-forms-axcelerate plugin extends the functionality of the Torro form, an open-source WordPress form builder.

OpenPolytechnic, the lead distance learning provider, used Moodle as their LMS until 2018. I have supported their Moodle instance from 2015 to 2018 and implemented multiple integrations (ADFS SSO and student management integration). I also worked on a project to migrate from Moodle to OpenPolytechnic's new LMS (iQualify) and decommission their Moodle instance.

Provided technical support and recommendation on technology to use to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)/Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) on web and mobile applications.

Also, we performed peer programming to set up SimpleSAMLphp and implemented the SSO login process using Azure AD.
