    Stump! Trivia is a national trivia company purchased by Buzztime in 2011. It had a website already, but had no content management system, which made it impossible to update or add any content. I was responsible for breaking apart and rebuilding the site in Joomla. In 2012, Stump! Trivia launched Questionnairey, it's sister product, and needed a website built as well. I then created and launched the Questionnairey site in under 5 days.
