This is my homepage where you can learn a little bit about my skills & education, get some book recommendations, contact me, request a resume, find out about some of my projects, follow me on social media and more.
Projects & Github
I stay quite active on github. Often holding contribution streaks of 30, 60, 90 days, my longest streak being over 225 days.
I have over 60 repositories and try to submit pull requests to other open source projects. Many repos are for learning purposes only, while others are released to the real world.
Here is a short list of some of my projects
- Podcasts.win a mobile first web app to easily share direct links to podcast episodes as part of the #trypod project.
- Built the first opensource Rocker Template Engine Gradle Plugin
- vPromise a fully A+ 1.1 compliant polyfill, passing all 889 tests on Travis-CI.
- Ethereum Lighthouse a framework for push services (oracles) to the Ethereum blockchain.
- Cordic sin calculated in rust.
- Man In The Middle HTTP Proxy written in Python. Used for injecting
window.onerrorcode for functional, end-to-end and production server testing of javascript errors. - vPodPlayer a bespoke Android podcast player, exploring various code design patterns and UI patterns.
- Clicker Me Bliss an abstract incremental web game designed to be played by Selenium web browser automation.
