I help human rights organizations organize their information, including contacts, events, knowledge, and case management. I am particularly interested in the documentation of human rights violations.

My favorite tools:

• I’m very comfortable using Drupal and WordPress content management systems.
• I’m familiar with Martus (Benetech).
• I’m familiar with Salesforce and CiviCRM contact relationship management systems.
• I’m eager to learn Casebox (HURIDOCS).

Trainings:

• Attended Digital Security Training of Trainers, December 2010, Turkey
• Attended Martus Training of Trainers, 2012, New York City

Working with a global team in limited time zones, limited budget and hard deadlines, is commonplace in the international NGO community. This panel digs into the discovery process behind designing, building and implementing a multi-lingual responsive theme for New Tactics, an international human rights organization. Combining the perspectives of the client, user experience designer and front end developer, this session provides an in-depth look at the challenges and successes of this process.
