    Assisted with a data migration of 17 thousand users and their data to a new Drupal-based web site as Drupal users and instances of several CCK types using the Migration module, Migration Extras, Table Wizard, and Drush. Wrote custom modules for importing user email addresses by choosing from a variety of fields, and importing exported migration content set definitions. Trained on techniques for getting feedback from PHP when errors occur and achieved a large speed increase to make iterations to perfect the migration process feasible.

  • The Boston Review, Somerville, MA

    Boston Review cover May/Jun 2010

    Analysis of the workflow used to design each issue of the print edition of The Boston Review in order to design a new web site for the organization with strong content management and search capabilities and an issue importer system that extracts the information needed for the updating the new site from the Adobe InDesign files that lay out the print edition of the magazine. (The old web site is still at bostonreview.net while the new web site is being developed.)

    The new site will be based on the OpenPublish Drupal distribution. See recent blog posts for new developments in this project or follow me on Twitter.

    Steve's work on our site redesign has been tremendous. His skill extends beyond solving problems on a technical level: he's able to listen to our needs and advocate thoughtfully for solutions. The result is a site whose workflow will save our company hundreds of man-hours and add enormous value to our brand. The depth of Steve's knowledge, and his willingness to go above and beyond to get us the best possible outcome, left me deeply impressed.

    Learned that the Denver Open Media Project had faced the same need and had developed a custom module called Filefield Local to solve it. Obtained the module, tweaked it slightly, and provided it to New Answer Technologies, solving their need.

    Wrote the RealChat module that allows users of a Drupal site to go to a RealChat server by clicking a link and have their nickname be their username, avatar be their picture on the site (if available), and their profile be linked to their site profile. It creates an authenticatable chat link if the chat server's authentication key is entered on the ReaChat administrative settings page. This allows the chat server to trust chat sessions from your Drupal site and ignore others.

    Diagnosed problems with Drupal installation and a custom theme that were causing the Color Picker not to function. Repaired the installation locally and transferred the fix back to the live site with no disruptions. Taught much about the use of Drupal along the way.
