Description: Designed, built and currently maintain proprietary, enterprise-level content management system (named "AMPS") customized for rapid site creation and deployment. Built in Ruby on Rails, AMPS utilizes a React-based user-interface to host and serve 300+ websites involving 1,500+ site editors over more than a decade of service. AMPS boasts a feature suite similar to WordPress and other open-source CMS products (asset management, theme templating, WYWIWYG publication, taxonomy structures, user permissions levels, etc). The entire architecture is maintained at Amazon Web Services, and sites are easily configurable with Cloudfront and S3.
