I'm the lead solution architect for Northwestern's in-house software development group. I'm a big PHP shill, but I also work in JS, Java, HCL, and Ruby.
On this account, you'll mostly find personal projects, talk repos, websites, and other small assorted projects. I've got a couple packages you might find interesting under the university orgs:
- OpenAM Duo MFA Node, implementing their v4 SDK and powering every single login at the whole university
- Dynamic Forms for Laravel, implementing a self-hosted PHP back-end for the formiojs builder & renderer
Whenever my team does something that is potentially-useful to other IT @ Northwestern teams, we try to package it up and publish it. Check out my pinned repositories for a few Northwestern-specific PHP & Laravel libraries.
You can find long-form posts, contact information, and links to other cool stuff on my websight, owls of the godless internets.
