PortfolioHere is a list of websites in which I have been the main architect, or at least played a pivotal role in developing it. I will only post websites once they are live at their respective URLs and ready for production.

Petside
Petside is an easy-to-use, reliable resource for pet parents on health, behavior, lifestyle and trends.
It was a big project made by the good folks at DigitalWorks @ NBC Universal. The website was made from scratch in Drupal 6 and the data from the previous version of Petside was migrated into it.
This website pushed the limits of my knowledge of the ctools module, allowing me to create many modal windows, form wizards and exportables. All the configuration and custom code of the website went into Features, and when a module was not compatible with it, we made it so.
Speaking about Features, this project opened my eyes to new ways of doing development - at one point we were 8+ developers working concurrently on the same Features. I had to develop SVN chops to not collide or override someone else's work.
Great project, great team!
Fit Kid Champions
Fit Kids has developed a transportable, fun toolkit to educate, motivate and reward changes from a child’s sedentary lifestyle to an active one.
It was an extremely fun website to architect, along with the team at Switchback (through which the project was done, of course), we managed to create a super easy interface for kids to add their activities.
The real meat of this website is the user permissions system, where you can have parents creating accounts for their kids, coaches administering groups of kids, and kids being protected properly to comply with COPPA.
We had to improve some contrib modules for this project, mainly Validateage and Subuser, which got patches sent back to the community. There was a lot of OG goodness, many custom modules, and even Google Charts for reporting on kids physical activities.
Fun times!
Battle Creek Area Community Television
The mission of AccessVision is to empower people to strengthen a sense of community, facilitate civic dialogue, and celebrate local culture by communicating through electronic media.
This website is an example of everything that can go right about a project. They were in tune with how the Drupal community worked. They had specific needs to use development versions of modules; for example, MERCI. Converting your community TV network to be Open Media based is no easy task, but we figure out ways to import data from their legacy Facil into Drupal+MERCI.
Following that, we plugged-in feed importers for their programming schedule and video feeds, and put it all in lightboxed Views. The result is an awesome website in which volunteers have a calendar of workshops, equipment reservation, and on-demand streaming of video projects.
This website was developed through Switchback.
