When a student found a vital security flaw in Nova Scotia's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIPOP) Portal, it was immediately shut down by the provincial government and remained offline for several months. Facing pressure from the media and general public, the Provincial Government reached out to Aptitude Digital (then Red Sky IT Solutions) to launch a temporary FOIPOP Portal.

I was tasked to rapidly create a new site, I gathered business requirements, architected the site and built it. I used a Drupal theme provided by the provincial government, making minor modifications to overcome theme limitations and to accommodate additional site functionalities.
