Summary
- I created Quicache (pronounced Key-cache, or Kwi-cache [as in Quick-cache] -- either is fine), a memory-based JS key-value data cache
- I created JS-ThemeGen , a Javascript library for quickly generating colour shades
- I created TheTransportLab , a GraphQL API for retrieving rail, TfL tube, and bus transit data in the UK
- I created TSOpenLDB , a library for interacting with the UK National Rail Open LDB staff API
- I'm an avid fan and contributor to Supabase , and help the community in their Discord server
- I've worked on a large number of commercial React and React Native projects for clients across the world
- I've created several thousand proof of concept projects over the years, and less than 5% of them ever get built out to real projects
Most people know me as a coder, but I've also got 20 years experience with non-code related IT stuff.
Awesome tools I use
- Supabase - An open-source alternative to Firebase
- Expo - A framework for developing, building and deploying React Native applications
- Moti - A React Native library for building animated components (Based on Reanimated 2 )
- Portainer - A docker container for helping to manage your docker containers
So many repos!
Many of my repos are forks of useful projects. I don't use all of them, but I like to keep a copy of projects that I think might be worth looking into in future.
