My path through technology

  • Delphi (2006 - 2010)
  • Delphi Firemonkey (2010 - 2013)
  • JQuery (2014 - 2016)
  • Node, Express
  • Socket.io (2014 - Present [kinda - not using it much these days])
  • AngularJS (v1) (2016 - 2017)
  • Angular (v2 - v6) (2017 - 2018)
  • Typescript, React, MobX, React Native, Expo (2018 - Present)
  • C# (2019 - 2020)
  • Apollo Server + Client (2019 - Present)
  • Supabase (2021 - Present)

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.
