Yitzchak Schaffer

I have been working with a consortial college library system since 2007. Having spent this time teaching myself web development, I would like to join a small web team, whether independent or part of a larger company. I have recently been experimenting with Scrum methodology, and would be particularly interested in continuing. As an introvert and self-starter, I excel in a quiet work environment as an autonomous part of a team. My development to this point has been mostly solo, and I am looking forward to working with and learning from other developers.

We also use a small Perl-based utility for a certain batch operation which is not under active development.

Other than perhaps our main Drupal site, our Electronic Resource Management System (ERMS) is our most mission-critical. It is responsible for negotiating HTTP traffic between our endusers and licensed scholarly content on vendor servers behind a paywall. The ERMS is a symfony application.

Touro College and University System consists of a network of affiliated institutions. Beyond the 14 core sites that make up Touro College New York (TCNY), we have a number of divisions more or less tightly connected in several states on both coasts, as well as overseas. Our ERMS serves all of these users, whi
