Project history
Ongoing architecture and development of a multi-tenant .NET 9 operational platform for a Swedish interpreting-services company. Work includes cross-tenant order mirroring, integration-service design, transaction boundary corrections, and incremental architectural change to a live production system. Fractional engagement.
Returned to an established public Drupal platform and took senior responsibility for its continued operation and modernization. Work included Drupal core upgrades through Drupal 11, Pantheon-to-Platform.sh migration, PHP/Composer development, Solr, Redis, Fastly CDN/WAF, CI/CD, automated validation, production incident response, USWDS, and WCAG accessibility.
Sole developer via RovoMedia for reservoircg.com: built the site, then hosted and maintained it for the client over several years on Drupal 9 by 2024. The client has since rebranded as Reservoir Health and replaced the site.
