Available Projects
Whenever possible I release the source code of my projects. The code is released under the open source GPL v3 license, and features both front-end markup and back-end code. All projects are version controlled using Mercurial, and are free to download on my public github repository.
Personal Website 2010
Download this site! The front-end features HTML5 and CSS3. Javascript libraries include jQuery, Flot, Cufon, Prettify and custom functions. The back-end is PHP/MySQL, built on top of the Model-View-Controller framework CodeIgniter. Code includes custom Codeigniter libraries, including a locally caching Twitter feed library and a locally caching Google Analytics API library. The blog is powered by Wordpress 3.1 and features a custom built theme.
View Website
The goal of view is to create a simple way to bookmark images I find interesting on the internet, and display them in an intuitive interface. The front-end features valid XHTML 1.0 strict, CSS, and custom jQuery effects. The back-end is PHP/MySQL, built in CodeIgniter and featuring a custom cURL script for remotely reading and creating local thumbnails.

Link Website
Link is a simple URL extender - put in a link from any URL shortener service and safely find out the end link. Only 7KB in size thanks to CSS3 and HTML5, Link uses PHP's implementation of cURL to extend urls.
CodeIgniter Image Thumbnail Library
I replaced the standard CodeIgniter image library with a custom one. It features the added ability to convert file types as well as less code required per individual call. The code maintains the CI ethos and is lean and efficient.
CodeIgniter Twitter Feed Library
Leveraging Twitter’s search feature, the library returns and stores the latest tweets in a local JSON file. Not only does this cut down on remote requests, it also allows the last tweets to be displayed even if the Twitter search service is down. Library includes simple flat text file logging.
