Community & Platforms
Herrnhut MSG — Church Community Platform
Application Developer · System Administrator · Infrastructure Manager
Configured, extended and operated an internet-based social networking and messaging platform for the Gorilla Life Ministry church community for over a year. Built on Dolphin, the platform was extended with Joomla and an Android app using Ionic. I managed MySQL, hosting, application files, user access, maintenance and support.
About three months into operations, unauthorized accounts posted inappropriate adult content. I placed the service in maintenance mode for around two days, removed the content, reviewed affected accounts and restored the platform. Follow-up measures included IP and geographic access restrictions, a honeypot to divert suspicious traffic, stronger login monitoring, automated alerts and updates to users about the shutdown and restoration.
