PharosPHP Framework

I took over an aged and poorly planned internal PHP framework, and set milestones for must have features. After a period of maintaining backwards compatibility with the updates (this framework runs 7 years worth of projects prior), I was finally able to branch and create a 1.0 version.

My work on the framework includes: structure, MVC, Routing API, Hooks (internal actions to attach callback actions), Caching, and more. Overall, this framework is much more mature and carefully planned, with several features in the works for future releases, and in turn, more projects.

Company/Personal Project (Summer 2009 - Ongoing)

HGTV Design Studio Facebook Application

Started with PSD comps and built all HTML/CSS/JS, then created a LAMP application integrating with the facebook API. The application is served up inside an iFrame on facebook, and allows users to create/rate/review/comment on home improvement/design projects in real time. The application uses no flash for features & usability (unlike most facebook applications) - so it works beautifully on mobile devices.
