About Me
Web Development
I have been developing PHP/MySQL scripts and applications for about 5 years now, and have released a number of scripts for free download. Listed below is my project portfolio.
Advanced Login System
ALS (Advanced Login System) basically locks up private web pages which you do not want the general public to access. However, what sets it apart from other similar login scripts is that not only does it has advanced features, such as CAPTCHA images and brute force protection which are more commonly seen in commerical scripts, but also the flexibility of smaller scripts.
Advanced Login System has been downloaded over 10000 times from my previous blog (iQuest Studios)
Integrated Contact Form
Integrated Contact Form is a single file contact system that doesn’t expose your email to spam and email farming bots. It does this by saving all your messages to a database, complete with headers and time of message sent. You can even reply to messages sent to you through the Admin Panel included in the file. It also supports sending messages recieved through the form to your specified email. And it is really compact (there is only 1 file!) and easy to integrate with just a change of stylesheets.
Project Extension
Project Extension was my take on a Chipmunk-Scripts‘ original Killmonster script, a PHP Browser based RPG game. What started out as an attempt to clean up the code to allow for more extensions became an over-ambitious project with too many features planned and too little time. However, I managed to add in a whole lot of new features (such as guilds, user profiles, spells, tagboard just to name a few) before I finally gave up due to the lack of time (though one spin-off from the project was actually ALS). Note that a stable build was never released.
UG Portal
UG (Uniformed Group) Portal was actually a management platform coded in PHP/MySQL which was my submission to my school’s Projects Day Competition in 2007. Behind it is actually a very simple concept – make use of a database to ease the management of uniformed group cadets by both student leaders and teachers.
The project was discontinued after the Projects Day Competition ended. It was awarded a High Distinction grade.
Inspire Run
Inspire Run was part of Inspire 2008, a project to raise funds for the Straits Time School Pocket Money Fund to help needy children. I served as a Logistics Committee member and was in charge of the entire IT aspect of the event.
We raised over S$1000 for the fund.
Planet In Peril
Planet in Peril was my team’s submission to the annual Greenwave Competition organized by Sembcorp. Our project involved trying to attract the youth to play a more active role in the conservation of the environment. I was in charge of the technical aspects of this project, which involved creating an interactive web resource, a competition portal for a competition that we organized as part of the project and maintaining a project website and blog.
We were given the commendation award.
Able Tuition
I served as a web consultant for Able Tuition Centre, a newly opened Chinese language tuition centre. I was required to establish a web presence for centre, with special emphasis on promotion using social media tools. After analyzing my client’s needs, I set up a Twitter account (@abletuition), a Facebook page as well as a self hosted WordPress blog. I also optimized the blog for search engines as well as installed and modified plugins to suit my client’s needs.
Endurance Sports
I have been into endurance sports for over three years now – nothing professional, just some recreational racing. I am especially a big fan of duathlons and road cycling.
Photography
Photography can probably be considered my newest and latest interest. And I am definitely not very good at it yet.
This is me.
