Below is a portfolio of my work done under contract to migrate science.nasa.gov from its old site into a Drupal site. Click an image to learn more about each screenshot.

During my contract, I led a team of 3 other developers/designers, choosing and arranging tasks with each team member. I developed much of the site's structure according to NASA requirements, took charge of the heavier tasks, coded bash scripts to auto create daily builds, and audited and deployed each day's new release.

This screenshot shows the home page on initial release of science.nasa.gov. Notably it centers on the pertinent focus of the site - to encourage users to ask questions - answered by their powerfully built search engine (more in next screenshots). Also notice the theme colors assigned to each NASA topic which carries on throughout the site's pages.
A simple screenshot of NASA's Astrophysics section, demonstrating the recurring theme color per section (as described in the previous slide - also note that Astrophysics was later decided to be labeled as Universe - as to explain the apparent mismatch).
This screenshot features the powerful search engine setup for NASA - I recommended and implemented Elasticsearch (based on the Lucene library). Elasticsearch results also combine with the search definition service, Wolfram Alpha (see column to right) where the image of Mars is clickable to see it larger in lightbox. Elasticsearch results load faster, so AJAX was used to allow independent loads to ensure best performance. Facets were built to allow users to sort by latest, not just most relevant results.
This shot represents a view with logic that organizes missions by key topics, allowing user to click any color/topic to filter by selecting a mission key. The page was built using the simplicity and power of *Drupal Views* (originally the #1 contributed module by the Drupal development community, it is now a core module in Drupal 8). Building this page with Views allowed an elegant means to identify the topics contextually to their related terms.

Screenshot of section devoted to young scientists, encouraging questions from them.
The top of this shot shows recommended articles, logically chosen based on NASA's criteria (also taking into account past keyword searches and articles already read by the user). The bottom part of this shot shows the available subscriptions sign-up form. Depending on the checkbox chosen, logic also delegates where to send - either to Salesforce or to one of NASA's internal services.
This shot shows the admin toolbar menu, where a menu item was programmatically added so that the NASA administers would be able to adjust newsletter options and account settings. Below the menu, the page shows news articles, which can be filtered by topic (right sidebar) by selecting any color combo, or specific topic. Thanks to the power of Drupal, this page was comprehensively and elegantly built - much faster than if done by scratch - by utilizing Drupal Views and templates.
Prototype of NASA's event calendar, where also announces special days for schools/organizations to have opportunity to *Chat with a Scientist*.
Another prototype, this time of a community driven event map where organizers would post NASA related events, so can invite all NASA enthusiasts to come and participate.
