Contract work
University of Wales
Blended hands-on code delivery with team mentoring, stakeholder management, and supplier oversight across a 4 way multi-site Drupal platform.
The brief
The challenge
The university required expert senior support to guide a newly formed in-house team managing four higher education websites running on a single, shared Drupal codebase. The project demanded high-level technical direction to align multiple institutional stakeholders, improve third-party vendor output, and establish scalable coding standards without interrupting ongoing site operations.
