Overview

I work on three Drupal properties for the Texas Department of State Health Services as part of the Brightleaf Group team: the main public website (dshs.texas.gov), the Field Guide clinic finder, and the DSHS intranet. All are Drupal 10 hosted on Acquia Cloud.

Field Guide: Find DSHS Health Clinics Near You

This is the largest piece of work I have done on the DSHS project. I built the Field Guide from scratch as a custom Drupal module with drush commands for data ingestion.

The data pipeline pulls clinic and office data from QuickBase (GOPHER system) via CSV exports, processes it through custom OfficeProcessor and PHEProcessor classes, and imports it into Drupal taxonomies covering offices, public health entities, counties, and service types across 11 Texas public health regions.

The frontend is a clinic finder with Google Maps integration, geocoding, address autocomplete, and service-type filtering. Users search by location and filter by the type of health service they need.

I also handled the full Spanish translation, which went through multiple rounds with the client covering day names, disclaimers, and address formatting. The Field Guide launched to production in February 2026.

Main Site Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance on the DSHS public site. This includes building new features, fixing bugs, and accessibility remediation driven by SiteImprove audits: color contrast fixes, nested anchor resolution, GTM iframe titles, mega menu screen reader improvements, and SearchStax search configuration.

The site runs Drupal 10 with a Gulp/SASS theme, with SearchStax providing Solr-based search.

Intranet

I also maintain the DSHS intranet, a separate Drupal site on Acquia. Work has included migrating search from Acquia Search to SearchStax, .htaccess configuration, CKEditor paste filter setup, file management UI improvements, and styling work on tables, captions, horizontal rules, and nested lists.
