This project portfolio highlights select work that I've been involved with recently. Most of what you see here falls within my wheelhouse catering to nonprofits, small-to-medium enterprises and communities. Sell also my work overview for high-level details.
Umoja extranet & curriculum databaseWhen a distributed network of schools and curriculum development experts can't communicate efficiently, their impact is limited. In this extranet project I helped the Umoja corporation implement a fully web-based portal to communicate, collaborate and share resources within their network. |
Drupal - Salesforce integration effortsA growing number of my projects have involved Drupal/Salesforce integration, and a by-product of this has been the focused development of new Drupal modules that enhance this integration. Some of these modules have proven very useful beyond of my own projects, and have even become shared resources within the Drupal community. |
Evanston art center portal implementationPortal Website Implementations This nonprofit art school site has a little bit of everything. It's a full-featured web portal, an online registration / eComm tool and a membership-driven community. On top of all this, it's fully integrated with a custom deployment of Salesforce. I was lucky enough to be the lead on all things web. |
NPO.net nonprofit job board expansionResearch & Development Work, Project Mangement Work As of 2010, NPO.net had become one of the nation's foremost nonprofit job boards and the largest of it's kind in the Midwest. After helping its owner (Lumity) re-build the site with a new content management system in 2009, I've stayed active as a project manager regarding scaling and expansion efforts (with a nation-wide reach on the horizon). |
ryan-jacobs.net (this site)Portal Website Implementations, Research & Development Work With roots leading back to 2007, this site has become a personal home for my consulting work and photography. This project has also become something of a playground for my various interests with Drupal, custom bits of php, and other web tools. |
Drupal punctuation pre-processor moduleWhen working on several client projects that leverage the Drupal content management system (CMS), I discovered some shortcomings in the core search interface that limited the way punctuated words are matched during searching. No solution existed yet, so I decided to take the initiative and build my own as a shared Drupal module. |
