Multi Purpose Curriculum Vitae

Programming

• Web applications, e.g. company-wide timesheet management (PHP, SQL Server), maintenance of RigPoint (J2EE, SQL Server)
• Web server caching and load balancing, e.g. extension of bcache (PHP, SQL Server)
  
• Content management/publishing and collaboration application/development platform, (Souffleur) that handles several public sites such as NewsFinder or RigBase, plus some private sites such as Trouvère (PHP, SQL Server)
• Database schema emulation for legacy applications (SQL Server)
  

• Prometheus II database management system (Java)

• Building of the  SoC database and web site including server (Linux, MySQL, PHP) up to version 1.0. The project was started on my spare time then became the official School of Computing web site. If you are not working at Napier, you will only see the (small) internet side of the system. The project acquired open source status under the name Open SoCks in November 2001 and can be found on SourceForge. It now powers several university sites, among which the Department d'Ecologia at the university of Barcelona.

Recent programming

• Internet weather (Linux, PHP, shell script, MySQL) that computes network latency and packet loss for key hosts on a network and graphically displays the statistics. It was originally designed to monitor a private network, but this demo monitors a couple hundreds routers around the world and groups the statistics into regions. Not yet publicly available.
  

• Spamtrap, or honeypot for spam (Linux, PHP), that receives spam emails, analyses them, then automatically updates a blacklist that can be queried by mail servers to reject spam. Available on SourceForge.
  

• Building of a reverse transparent cache to put in front of and speed up (very) slow dynamically generated web sites for a friend's company (Win32, PHP). The point was to handle peculiar requirements such as URL mapping, cookie filtering, cookie-based authentication, presentation of different pages at a single address depending on authentication, transparent proxying when necessary, variable caching policy based on URLs, load balancing, etc. Open source, and available on SourceForge.

• Building of the SSDBM conference paper submission/management site (Linux, MySQL, PHP). The project manages the whole paper review process (e.g. paper submission, assignment of papers to reviewers, collection of reviews, resolution of conflicts, notification to authors), is open source, and is on SourceForge. The system has been used for several academic conferences around the world since its release.

• Spamabuser (Linux, PHP, MySQL) that analyses spam emails and fetches abuse contact information for the extracted domains. Available on SourceForge.

• Development and maintenance of the SoC database and web site (Linux, MySQL, PHP). If you are not working at Napier, you will only see the (small) internet side of the system. The project acquired open source status under the name Open SoCks in November 2001 and can be found on SourceForge .
