Projects

RoastHunter

http://roasthunter.co.uk
RoastHunter is a website listing locations near you where you can find a good roast. RoastHunter is built using CodeIgniter, the Google Maps API and a sub-site using Wordpress. I am also developing an iPhone application for RoastHunter built in Titanium, and using the API framework Slim http://slimframework.com to pull data from the MySQL database for the iPhone application.

Project X (Nameless)

Project X is currently a work in progress, It will be an opensource deployment system for PHP projects. Project X connects to your Git/Subversion project and deploys to your webservers on demand. This project came about as I wanted to build something for the opensource community and grow my knowledge with PDO and development in general.

Billr

http://billr.co.uk
Billr is an interface add-on to http://freeagentcentral.com. Billr allows clients to view and manage the invoices that are generated within FreeAgent, although Freeagent is still in progress, upon launch I plan on intergrating a payment portal to allow clients to pay the invoices. Billr is built using the FreeAgent API.
