Experience
Drupal Web Programmer
Academy of Model Aeronautics | 2020 - Present
I work with a collection of about 25 websites using Drupal, WordPress, and BackdropCMS. I do a bit of everything from backend development to frontend development. I upgraded multiple Drupal 7 sites to BackdropCMS. Sites were also migrated from WordPress to both Drupal and BackdropCMS, as well as upgrades from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8+. I created new themes for WordPress, Drupal, and Backdrop sites. Decoupled BackdropCMS and Drupal using ReactJS and JSONapi. I help support a Modern Drupal site with a large amount of custom code.
