WordPress can be an amazing publishing platform but can suffer from plugin-mania, and this was the case with Northland Dive's website. Taming the plugins back to a reasonable set of tools that could by in large be used by the client to maintain their site ongoing - the main advantage of a WordPress install. The site now delivers the right information to its diving customers and potential divers who flock to the Northland coastline in search of world-class diving experiences.

This project was to upgrade an early PHP application into a modern framework (CakePHP). Initially into Cake v2 and then upward into v3. Significant development work was required, essentially re-writing the bespoke codebase into a modern object-orientated PHP framework. Once complete, the application delivered the company an excellent platform from which to grow and expand its range of services and facilities. Features included an automated worker built using Puppeteer in ExpressJS. Deployed on AWS serverless infrastructure, the automated workers would regularly scan third-party systems for instructions, quote requests and new messages and interact with our application. Essentially developing an API where one didn't exist. Significant knowledge of Javascript and the DOM were required. I oversaw the initial briefing and ongoing maintenance and development of a mobile application built using Angular within the Ionic framework.

This project focused on upgrading an ageing CakePHP stack into Laravel (v9/10), developing and documenting API endpoints as well as implementing new application functionality from Figma and other information architecture directions. I developed and released the client's new, core authentication API and UI to replace the previous CakePHP-driven authentication route by customising Laravel's Fortify, Jetstream & Socialite packages. Federated SAML single sign-on facilities to accommodate enterprise customer authentication as well as social Oauth authentication flows and MFA. A new sass Staff Rostering facility built entirely in Laravel with Livewire & AlpineJS driving the front end. I managed version control commits/branching and team merges with git & Bitbucket and drove builds through Atlassian Bamboo pipelines into AWS infrastructure for deployment. Project management and ticket-based workloads managed via Atlassian's agile platform Jira.
Laravel API & web app: Auth, Oauth, SAML
