Jacob Sanford (jacobsanford)

Senior Technical Operations Manager at UNB Libraries. Most of my time is spent mentoring and working with our team to create workflows and solutions with the goal of deploying, maintaining, and managing our web applications efficiently and elegantly.

Projects:

Although much of the Drupal workflow and tool development I do is confidential, a representative snapshot of my interests, abilities and standards is available to browse at GitHub.

Some specific Drupal-oriented projects of note:

• Our Drupal 8 CI Workflow : A detailed document outlining our local-to-prod Drupal 8 CI Process/Workflow at UNB Libraries. Intended for others to contribute and learn. We deploy Drupal containers on Kubernetes, test instances on Travis, and develop locally fast and simply by leveraging Robo.

• taxonomy_manager : Co-maintainer. I offered to assist the original maintainer move forward with a stale 8.x branch.

• cabinetry : Unconventional Drupal module. Proof of concept for rapid prototyping - generate rapid cut list and sheet layouts of various forms of sheet good based oriented European cabinets.

About Me:

I believe strongly in the open data movement and feel that education should not be restricted to those who can afford formal training. I am especially proud of the accomplishments of our team at UNB Libraries as we work towards the open dissemination of academic knowledge and research data.
