I worked with Minitex IT staff and librarians to re-platform the Minnesota Digital Library from CONTENTdm to the Ruby On Rails Blacklight search framework, backed by the CONTENTdm API (using the CONTENTdm API for Ruby Gem that I authored and open sourced) .

In order to support the Minitex Digital Library team as they developed and tested new features, I created a Docker-based local development flow for a single command platform setup process.

I also integrated the Minnesota Digital Library with the University of Minnesota Kaltura multimedia streaming platform.
