Worked with Professor Gabriel Eidelman to develop a website and content management system that includes an easy-to-use, searchable document library. This is part of a research project on a historical organization known as the Bureau of Municipal Research, which published over 800 documents from 1914-1983.

  • Determined technical requirements and recommend appropriate web database platform to manage content, and if necessary, install and configure appropriate server software
  • Worked with PHP backend, coded from scratch and adapted available web packages/platforms to create a searchable document library
  • Converted metadata currently stored in spreadsheets to appropriate web/database formats
  • Designed and implemented a modern, responsive, and easy-to-use user interface using HTML and CSS
  • Set up a content management system to enable simple database updates
