MIT OpenCourseWare Database Replacement

MIT OpenCourseWare has published materials from thousands of MIT courses, covering the entire MIT curriculum, freely and openly, and for over two decades used a FileMaker Pro database to manage the course publication process. The MIT OCW team chartered a project to design a replacement database and update their related publication process.

For the database replacement project, I managed the request for proposals and project managed the design of the replacement system in collaboration with the MIT OCW team.
