Project: Work

Summary

A large revamp of an existing learning management system that required migrating data from an older Joomla-based system into a new platform.

The project covered the complete learning workflow, from browsing courses and enrollment through checkout, classroom scheduling, examinations, and certificate generation. The system supported both online and classroom-based courses.

The CMS and back-office system were built from scratch, including course management, schedules, locations, certificate templates, and other administrative workflows.

One of the more challenging parts of the project was migrating data from the existing live Joomla system. We built the migration process to retrieve the existing data and bring it into the new system while the new platform was being developed.

The project was substantial for a small development team. I initially led the technical implementation and later expanded the team by bringing in a developer I had previously worked with. QA support was also brought in from the existing client team to help validate the system as development progressed.

Together, we were able to complete the full workflow from course enrollment through to certificate generation.

My Role

I led the technical development of the project, including the initial architecture and implementation.

As the scope grew, I brought in a developer I had previously worked with to help with the implementation and coordinated development with QA support from the client team.

I was responsible for the overall technical direction and worked across the application, data migration, checkout workflow, and administrative system to deliver the complete learning workflow.
