Summary
Rhane Colwell is a Senior Developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating web applications, cloud infrastructure, and managed services across government, non-profit, and commercial sectors. He combines full-stack web development (PHP, JavaScript, .NET, Drupal) with practical sysadmin and networking skills—standing up AWS EC2/RDS/S3/CloudFront architectures, configuring Varnish/CDN, and migrating legacy Windows apps to modern environments. Known for bridging development and operations, he has implemented SSL, email deliverability, and high-availability Drupal platforms while contributing custom modules and themes. His background in RFID/RTLS and solution engineering adds a hardware-integrated systems perspective that most web developers lack.
