I build role-based platforms that replace spreadsheets, email chaos, and manual reporting—systems designed to hold up under real-world constraints.
FMMS is an enterprise operational platform designed to manage bail forfeiture workflows across multiple physical office locations. It centralizes court deadlines, financial exposure, fugitive tracking, compliance reporting, and documentation into a single high-accountability dashboard.
Built for daily use (not demonstration), FMMS includes role-based access control, live case search, advanced reporting, document management, internal messaging, and real-time fugitive alerts via a custom API integration. The platform is privately owned by the client and is not available for public demonstration.
Academic Incident Tracker is a purpose-built academic operations system for managing sensitive student records with consistency and accountability. It provides structured workflows for Student Intervention Logs (SIL) and Academic Integrity Logs (AIL), enabling clear documentation, follow-up actions, and course-scoped oversight without the complexity of a full LMS.
Designed as a lightweight, role-aware platform, it models real institutional processes including course enrollment, assignment linkage, incident timelines, and action histories—supporting auditability, data integrity, and instructor autonomy.
Syllabus Manager is a role-based syllabus authoring and publishing system designed for small colleges and language programs. Professors create versioned syllabi tied to a course, complete structured required sections (plus optional custom sections), track progress, and submit for administrative review. Admins approve or request revisions with internal comments, and published syllabi become instantly available to enrolled students.
The platform supports file attachments (policies, rubrics, schedules) with per-file visibility controls, allowing instructors to share select documents with students while keeping staff-only materials private.
OfficeHours Scheduler Portal is a role-based academic scheduling system built to manage instructor office hours with precision, transparency, and institutional control. It replaces ad-hoc scheduling and email coordination with structured workflows for professors, students, and administrators.
Professors define reusable office-hour blocks that generate discrete, bookable time slots. Students book via a real-time calendar or a public booking portal, while instructors retain control over availability, cancellations, and booking status. The platform supports authenticated and guest bookings using secure public access tokens.
A production-style placement testing microservice for language programs: secure login, role-based portals, and a CEFR-aligned exam workflow from question bank → attempt → scoring → recommendation. Built to be clean, fast, and deployable as a standalone service inside a broader academic platform ecosystem.
Includes JWT auth, RBAC (Admin/Proctor/Student), admin question management, proctor oversight views, attempt logging, automatic scoring, and level + skill breakdown analytics stored as structured meta.
Architected, deployed, and maintained a Moodle-based learning management system serving bail agents and support staff statewide. The platform replaced in-person training with scalable online certification programs while improving consistency, tracking, and reporting. The platform is privately owned by the client and is not available for public demonstration.
Experience:
Brandon’s Demo Academy is a curated Moodle environment built to showcase hands-on LMS administration, instructional structure, and educational technology workflows. The goal is a clean, professional configuration that reflects institutional decision-making rather than a “blank install” sandbox.
Built on Moodle 4.5, the platform models roles and permissions, course categories, enrollment logic, grading structures, completion tracking, and reporting. The theme and navigation are intentionally designed to feel production-ready and admin-friendly, while sample courses stay lightweight and structural by design.
EduTracker is a lightweight academic operations platform built for instructors who want control without complexity. It provides streamlined tools for course management, attendance tracking, gradebooks, and instructor-facing reports—designed to reflect real classroom workflows rather than bloated LMS systems.
ClimateTracker is a Laravel-based climate analytics platform designed to log, analyze, and visualize long-term outdoor and greenhouse microclimate data using daily high/low measurements. The system models real-world growing conditions rather than abstract weather theory, with frost-season analysis, greenhouse performance scoring, and year-over-year climate trend comparisons.
The dashboard computes domain-specific metrics such as winter survivability, greenhouse temperature delta, frost-free season length, and Growing Degree Days (GDD), while integrating live weather data from a physical AcuRite Iris station. All analytics are derived from structured daily records, making the system robust, explainable, and agriculturally meaningful.
TicketPortal is a role-based support and issue tracking system designed to streamline internal request workflows. Built with Symfony and Bootstrap, it provides structured ticket intake, status tracking, internal notes, categorization, and role-aware dashboards to improve visibility and accountability across teams—designed as a foundation for scalable internal support operations.
MyTasks is a modular task and workflow management system built with Laravel, designed to support team-based and role-driven productivity. The platform includes authentication, granular access control, task prioritization, categories, due dates, comment threads, and admin-facing dashboards. Architected with extensibility in mind, it serves as a foundation for operational task tracking beyond simple to-do lists.
InteractiveGreenhouse is an NFC-enabled plant intelligence and observation platform that links physical plants, pots, or growing zones to structured digital records. Scannable tags provide instant access to growth data, observations, and environmental context—transforming a greenhouse into a living, queryable database. Designed with applications in agricultural education, botany labs, and experiential STEM learning environments.
Academic Directory is a university-style departments + faculty + labs directory built in Drupal 11 to model real institutional information architecture: structured profiles, taxonomy-driven discovery, and editorial governance. The build focuses on the engine (content modeling + Views) first—polish and theming are intentionally later-phase.
Includes Faculty Profiles, Labs, Departments, and Research Areas using taxonomy references, directory pages powered by Views + exposed filters, and department landing pages that auto-list related faculty/labs via contextual block displays. Roles are in place; workflow + permissions tuning are next.
Migrated my entire web presence from shared hosting to a self-managed unmanaged VPS, preserving the existing
URL structure and application layout (/projectname) while replatforming DNS + SSL and validating
each system post-cutover.
Migrated ~300k files across multiple applications and validated end-to-end functionality post-cutover.
Scope included multi-stack apps (ProcessWire, CodeIgniter, Laravel, Drupal, Node/Express, Moodle), database export/import + user recreation, environment/config updates, permissions/ownership fixes, and Let’s Encrypt TLS issuance after DNS validation. All projects were tested live (logins + persisted data) after the A-record cutover.
I’m a Systems Administrator, Full-Stack Developer, and EdTech Specialist with 10+ years of experience building secure, practical systems that keep organizations running—and make complicated workflows feel simple.
I work at the intersection of infrastructure and software: backend logic, database design, UI flow, automation, and long-term maintainability. I specialize in operational systems that hold up under daily use, reporting requirements, and institutional complexity.
I’m strongest when building:
One of my flagship platforms, FMMS (Forfeiture Management & Monitoring System), is an enterprise case management system I architected and built for a regulated, multi-location operation. It centralized deadlines, financial exposure, documentation, workflow status, and internal reporting into a single production system designed for high-accountability environments. The platform is privately owned by the client and is not available for public demonstration.
Outside of work, I’m also a builder in the literal sense: I run climate experiments and long-term data tracking in a greenhouse in the Tennessee hills, where “systems thinking” turns into sensors, automation, and observation over time.
Recently, I’ve stepped into a new chapter as a university professor in a language center in Latin America. I’m excited to blend my technical background into educational workflows, learning platforms, and modern classroom systems—with an eye toward future coordination work in educational technology. This portfolio is a snapshot of what I build: tools that reduce friction, improve visibility, and help people do their work better.
