I've also worked extensively with Drupal, WordPress, PHP, and various databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB). Recent highlights: Created API integration solutions for international clients at SafetyStratus. Optimized a critical process from 3+ hours down to 2 minutes. Architected and built TriBuild, a comprehensive project management platform for construction subcontractors. Transformed Examiner.com into a high-traffic local news site.
