Albright-Knox Art Gallery
Albright-Knox Art Gallery - sought to rebuild their website to better showcase its renowned collection and enhance visitor engagement. Serving as the lead developer at Bluecadet, I spearheaded the build of the new site on Drupal 8 as the content management system.

Search the Collection
A focal point of the website is the "Search the Collection" section, which enables users to search for artworks by artist, title, object type, date range, and more. Working closely with another developer, I wrote a custom module script to periodically query and parse data from their MIMSY database where the artwork is stored, syncing it back into Drupal as nodes. This allows the artwork content to be accessible and enables advanced search and discovery capabilities.
I also built custom functionality for the Plan Your Visit and Events that guides visitors to explore the museum’s offerings. Throughout the build process, I collaborated closely with the design team and museum stakeholders to bring this project to life.
