Overview

The Roots of Health Inequity is an online course platform for the National Association of County and City Health Officials. I was a significant contributor on the redesign, with 368 of 2,292 commits (16%) across 106 tickets over roughly two years. The site went through Drupal 8 to 9 to 10 to 11 during my time on the project.

Interactive Features

The most substantial part of my work was building custom interactive components:

  • Flip Card Interactive (NRR-29): templating, JavaScript, animations, transitions, and full accessibility support
  • Choose Your Path (NRR-179): scaffolding, theming, scenario-specific backgrounds, keyboard accessibility, and CKEditor styles for stage highlighting
  • Interactive Image Puzzle (NRR-410): wedge-based image interaction with keyboard and mouse support, background transitions, image swaps, overlay management, and reset functionality
  • Advice Wall (NRR-408): audio file playback with transcripts, tile transitions, Able Player integration, and screen reader descriptions

Theming and Frontend

  • Hero image and progress bar (NRR-49)
  • Mobile menu fixes (NRR-54, NRR-55)
  • Voices paragraph with node template conversion, mobile responsiveness, and transcript functionality (NRR-84)
  • Book navigation (NRR-98)
  • Modal focus trapping (NRR-99)
  • Net worth map visualization
  • Footer updates and region stabilization across dozens of tickets

Content Types

  • Certificate content type with background image, dynamic content, and print layout (NRR-222, NRR-361)
  • Survey content type with pathauto configuration
  • Course overview block ordering

Accessibility

Accessibility work was threaded through most of my tickets: screen reader updates, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, focus management, and Able Player integration for audio content.

Technical Details

  • Drupal 8 through 11 (upgraded during the project)
  • Pantheon hosting
  • Search API Solr
  • Able Player for accessible media
  • OpenAI / Drupal AI integration
