I have been working in Corporate I.T. as a Developer, Manager, and Scrum master for over 15 Years but my real passion is using the best emergent technologies, open source and Lean principles.

I created this portfolio to showcase my personal and OpenSource projects and the technologies I have used to build them. I hope you like it.

angular.module('RevealMenuModule', [])
    .directive('revealmenu', function(){
        return {
            link: function(scope, elem, attrs){
                scope.sections = [];
                //.......
                Reveal.addEventListener('slidechanged', function(event) {
                    //.......
                });
            }
        }
    });
                        

Key menus are not supported by reveal.js. to add one, I created an AngularJS directive to scrape presentation and extended data out of the DOM. I was then able to build the menu using standard AngularJS binding.

AngularJS directives (and Web Components but that's another story) are a great way to build re-useable components. I have packaged the menu directive and published it to NGModules.Org, a great community resource for AngularJS.

Learntree.org is trying to build a new way of learning. We want to leverage the best free and paid online learning material to build customised and flexible learning experience for our users.

I built a Neo4j graph database and access it with Cypher queries to enable a customised learning and curation experience.

I implemented graph visualisations on the client with D3.js and Angular.

Hackify.org was inspired by the realtime music sharing app plug.dj. Wouldn't it be great I thought for developers to code together in a virtual space. I managed to achieve this by utilizing a publish-subscribe model with Node.js, Redis, Socket.io and AngularJS.

One of the things you can do with Hackify is to reach out to a remote friend or colleague to get get help with your programming problems.

If you are lucky, when you walk into a store a sales assistant will help you. She will ask questions and guide you to the right product. GuideBySide attempts to be the sales assistant for online stores. To enable the question/answer interaction, I reprised my own C# RuleClarity engine and ported it to javascript/Node.js.

Looking for more markets for the product, I converted GuideBySide into a Shopify App. This presented some interesting challenges for example building the OAUTH integration with Shopify.

Packaging the angular application as a widget with grunt was also interesting. The video explains how I achieved this.

To really make the app user friendly, I had to re-implement the 'drag and snap' rule builder that I had previously implemented in C#/winforms. I achieved this with AngularJS but it required some tricky dancing with JQuery for the drag and drop.

Spodgic is a real time, multiplayer geoactive RPG available for Android devices on Google Play. I implemented as a Mobile HTML5 solution using PhoneGap, JQuery Mobile, CouchDB, Node.js and Google Maps.

Google Maps integration allows the user to use their current location as a 'battleground', placing factory units and monsters.

I leveraged a Javascript based gesture library over HTML5 Canvas to enable Gesture based combat.

RuleClarity is a Rules engine with an english language syntax. Implemented in C#, it includes a core rule evaluation engine, a backend for storing and managing rules and an invocation API. In addition, I implemented an integrated 'scratch' style drag-and-connect rule builder interface using Winforms.

The rules engine was built on a technology that I created and termed 'Semantic Rules' which I explain in this video.
