Community Building

(Bluxome Labs : 5/14-6/14)

To facilitate migration between Yahoo Groups and Kinsights group functionality for a key account, I created a Command Line Interface tool for a paginated approach to parsing and importing the member list in addition to parsing and importing the archived messages (for the last seven years.)

Many iterations were necessary and several heuristic methods were applied in order to ensure the cleanest import of the messages

Additionally, I created the activation flow for the transition, partially by piecing together signup components from the existing codebase, partially by crafting new logic in the business layer.

Results

  • Created CLI tool to ingest 1,000s of Yahoo Groups users given numerous different, undocumented email schemas.

Documenting the American South is a digital library hosted at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and during my graduate degree there, I worked for them to create a custom CMS.

Results

  • Created a CMS reducing costs by 11% per year, managing a 100+ page website, cutting time-to publication by 89% for managing the most comprehensive digital library on culture of the American south.
