PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Sr. Manager Consultant - Architect, Developer

Confidential, Tempe, AZ

Responsibilities:

• Banner Health TEMPhas an existing Sitecore implementation (www. Confidential .com) based on Sitecore 6x, s designed and implemented by a former IT partner.
• dis implementation is fraught with problems: it is fragile, does not scale, and is not reliable.
• Banner Health wants to increase its investment in Sitecore and TEMPhas a roadmap full of mission critical projects that they would like to base on teh Sitecore product; however, they were reluctant to move forward until they had a solid Sitecore foundation to build upon. In dis project I was tasked with leading a team to create a new Enterprise Sitecore framework/architecture and implementation to be used by Banner Health going forward as their model and standard as well as a multi-tenant, multi-site implementation in which new Sitecore implementations could be added on and participate and benefit from teh foundational work that was created.
• Ultimately www. Confidential .com will be migrated to run under dis new framework.
• A part of teh project goals, beyond creating dis go-forward, best-practice Sitecore implementation, was to design and build a series of 4 new Sitecore sites that were of upmost importance to Banner Health's Medicare and Medicaid participation/partnering.

• Result: All 4 new sites were delivered on-time, and teh project was accepted and adopted as teh new best practice framework for all new Sitecore development. In teh 3 months since delivery, 3 additional sites have been stood up on dis framework, and teh work to migrate www. Confidential .com to teh new instance TEMPhas begun.
• Led a multi-disciplined team to port teh functionality of an existing enterprise blog application built in WordPress into a Sitecore "Feature" that can be plugged into any existing Sitecore site to add enterprise blog functionality. Sitecore Helix principles were used to design a re-usable modular blog application. Core technology used: Sitecore MVC, ASP.NET MVC, WebAPI, Javascript, Bootstrap, Grunt, Gulp, NPM, TDS (Team development or Sitecore), Fabricator (rapid prototyping), Visual Studio 2015/17, VS Code
