Open Source
My entire career is built off the back of Open Source. Wouldn't be fair not to give back? I love writing libraries and mini projects, and especially love it when others get involved. Open source gave me a career, I intend to repay the favour.
Solution10 Libraries
2014 - 2017
The Solution10 libraries are a set of packages I've written over the years to solve various problems in the PHP space. All of them use Packagist for distribution and TravisCI for continuous integration.
Principal Web Developer & Tech Lead - BBC iPlayer Radio
2012 - 2017
Leading the team both in terms of software development and line management, my main achievement was the design and implementation of the next-gen PHP platform for iPlayer Radio; from the RPM build tools to package the app through to leading the development of client libraries and application paradigms. The resulting composition based architecture scaled to over a million requests a day on minimal hardware (~ 5 instances total)
imgur-album-downloader
2012 - 2017
A little utility that quickly got out of hand, this was my first open-source Python project that has grown to a modest popularity. A cheeky way of grabbing the images from an Imgur album without going via the API. Really popular with certain Subreddit users, not sure why...
Personal Projects
2006 - 2017
In my free time, I've experimented with creating board games in Javascript, equipment booking systems, RESTful calendar APIs, game dev with Unity and SDL and more besides that I couldn't hope to list here. If you're interested in what else I can or want to do, why not get in touch?
