I was the lead on the E-Z Rent A Car site redesign and development project. I worked with a team of designers and developers to completely redesign and build their site (including fully functional booking system) using Drupal 7.
This project involved a lot of custom development- ranging from the reservation system to marketing campaign functionality.

For a very long time, I considered myself a developer. I knew the term “software engineer”, but always thought it was different. Recently, I came to the realization that “software engineer” is not just a title- it is a way of life. A software engineer is not bound by any one coding language or set of rules. There comes a point when you start to see the similarities between the different coding languages and frameworks. Continue reading “The difference between an engineer and a developer”
