Projects

Here is where you can see what projects I'm working on or have worked on in the past. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about them.

Psuedo

Pseudo is a system for mocking PHP's PDO database connections. When writing unit tests for PHP applications, one frequently has the need to test code that interacts with a database. However, in the true spirit of a unit test, the database should be abstracted, as we can assume with some degree of certainty that things like network links to the database server, the database connection drivers, and the database server and software itself are "going to work", and they are outside the scope of our unit tests.

Trivia API

                                
A publicly available trivia API created with Laravel and PHP web scraping. The API is based on jService.io. With a total of 96,221 questions I plan on creating various applications to leverage this API in the future.

BlockDown

                                
A fun new puzzle game that will challenge your visual-spatial skills. Normal mode is a twist on a familiar game with an added level of skill. Freeplay mode is a more casual game where the goal is to rack up as many points as possible.
