• Unify Scholastic’s digital assets into a single content management system and deprecate legacy third-party applications, the ultimate goal being that Scholastic business units have a shared resource for digital asset management, relieving the previous overhead of sharing digital proporty between business units, and ensuring that Scholastic has a persistent record of all it’s digital property in one system, rather than spread among many, often completely different, systems.

• Developed a suite of java spring applications dedicated to digital asset retrieval, import, metadata modification, versioning, and processing while being (mostly) agnostic toward the digital asset management platform (OTMM).

• Built and maintained an image delivery service which served over one million requests per month to external consumers.

• Collaborated with internal business users to learn their existing workflow for publishing marketing images and built a Java based service with an AngularJS based client to replace an archaic third-party system, saving the company licensing fees and empowering the users to more easily control their data.
