Collier County Public Schools · 2020 – Present
Origin
A mission-critical, district-wide enterprise web application that powers administrative and operational workflows across one of Florida's largest public school systems.
Overview
Scale
Origin serves one of the largest school districts in Florida, Collier County Public Schools, with thousands of active users including students, teaching staff, administrators, and district leadership.
Architecture
Built on Symfony (PHP), the application follows a structured MVC pattern with complex relational data models spanning both T-SQL (SQL Server) and PostgreSQL. Business logic is encapsulated in services and domain-driven layers to handle diverse administrative workflows.
Frontend
The frontend is driven by Vanilla JS with no heavyweight framework dependencies, keeping the UI fast and predictable across a broad range of school-issued devices and network conditions.
Responsibility
Own technical direction for Origin, including architecture decisions, code review, production quality, and direct collaboration with district stakeholders on roadmap planning, scoping, and delivery.
Impact
Origin touches critical workflows: student data management, staff administration, reporting pipelines, and cross-department operational tooling. Reliability and correctness are non-negotiable at district scale.
