Portfolio of Web Work

Actrand

Actrand is a web business started by me and a friend. We have a few clients. We provide websites, web hosting, web development, logo design and Office 365 management

Song Requests

Join or create a room by typing a four letter room code, then request songs! The room creator can then delete tracks once played. This site includes an API to last.fm to get a song list, a database (to hold song requests), and an AJAX request to refresh the songs list in real time.

Server Status

In my personal time as part of a University project I developed a Server Status monitor to watch my Virtual Servers. I showed this to my line manager at Boston College, and we implemented this to monitor servers. This project involves:

CSharp Windows Service
MySQL Database which is updated frequenty with server information
PHP Session Authentication for the dashboard and config webpages
AJAX Requests to refresh server status in real time
JavaScript to read out server names for audible alerts

Please contact me for a demo of this application.

Elite Sports Academy

Elite Sports Academy has been a long standing customer of Actrand. We have developed a website for them, and we have also recently redesigned the website.

Christmas Countdown

For fun I developed a Christmas Countdown. This simply counts down to the 25th of December of the current year.

Spotify - What's Playing

For fun I developed a Spotify page. This involves an authentication process with Spotify APIs, and then the web application displays what song is currently playing in an aesthetic way.
