The Dumont Security website redesign involved Drupal 7 web design & development, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and responsive web design using a custom Bootstrap sub-theme.

Future Access Inc. hired me to consult at the City of Hamilton (and remotely) with their new web development team migrating their website and numerous web services to the Drupal 7 content management system.

I worked closely with the product owner and project manager in high-level discussions regarding web development best practices, procedures, goals and objectives for the project.

Day-by-day I worked with the other analysts on the team under the Agile development methodology: designing, developing, and implementing Drupal 7 software solutions. My daily work consisted of research and analysis, discussions, development, implementation, documentation, integration scheduling and testing, ticketing with remote resources, one-on-one and group Drupal 7 training and debug sessions. On the team I contributed to daily stand-up meetings and biweekly project reviews: presenting, discussing and reflecting on the past and future two weeks.

The Simbotics website balances usability with abundant content while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing format, becoming a comprehensive resource for teams worldwide. Immediately upon arrival, you are presented with a wide photo of our recent news; the home page also contains an easily readable team and robotics program descriptions, as well as our latest innovative resources.

The media section features news articles, publicity articles, HD videos and photo galleries from events with links to the original images for high-quality printing. These outlets help other teams, parents and sponsors easily follow our progress.

Our FIRST and VRC sections contain pages for each year that display helpful information including the game animation, description and our robots and event details. Users are able to see where the events are held, the event results with convenient links to related photo galleries and event summaries.

Our resources section has gone through a huge overhaul. It contains English, Spanish and French resources regarding the fundamentals of robotics. All of our resources are also available on an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch app available for free. It has been downloaded over 3000 times in 74 countries.

The clean interface of our website encapsulates our team branding to give the full Simbot experience. Our philosophy has always been to continually strive for excellence and our website is no exception. The utmost attention to detail ensures a familiar, consistent experience throughout your visit.

Our high school robotics team, Simbotics, won the 2012 FIRST Robotics World Championship Chairman's Award, the most prestigious award for spreading robotics around the world.

I was featured in a front page newspaper article regarding my iOS app SimPhone built for my robotics team in Sep. 2011 - Jan. 2012 (4 months).
