An online dictionary of rude jokes, the owner of which has released a bestselling book.
Sickipedia has enjoyed continual growth since its initial launch.
I built the Sickipedia v1.0 from the ground up to launch the community, with v2.0 being a collaborative effort with my team.
By the time v3 launched, the site was handling thousands of visitors at a time. We are continually updating and tweaking the code, scalability being paramount - the highly optimised software handles over 2,000 consecutive users on very modest hardware.
The Sickipedia platform is built on a Linux platform serving via nginx, with a memcache cluster on self-managed ESXi systems.
A digital arts community which has gained fame and notoriety over the years.
I update the code behind the scenes, with more notable improvements including building the new homepage and revamping the administration tools.
Instant music and video searchers. Coded and maintained until July 2009. I spoke publically about my experiences with Music Search Plus at In The City 2009.
I was proud to have been the first, and to my knowledge, only web audio search that checks results from multiple sources in realtime, and offers direct download links. Many competitors have since come to the market with millions of dollars in venture funding. Referred to by some as "The start of Web 3.0", this music search tool took the web by storm, and was the most popular service on the network.
Within a week, news of the service had gone viral, and over 4 million results were served.
The site was featured on many social networking sites such as Digg and Reddit.
The instant success of this service was testament to the stability of the infrastructure behind it.
Many companies have approached and attempted to buy Music Search Plus, but each time, my colleagues and I decided it was best kept as pure as possible for the good of the users.
Running this service brought me great pleasure and recognition over the years. It has served in excess of 450 million MP3 locations over the years.
I currently work in
London for Bluepod Media as
their Chief Technical Officer.
I have produced work for Blackberry, Motorola, PepsiCo, Red Bull, Skype, BBC London, Fiat, Diesel, Philips, Paramount, Activison, Samsung and many others.
During my time at TVF, I helped out when we were passed technical briefs.
This has resulted in me being directly involved with the filming of virals, such as these:
Project Space Planes As seen in my stylish hat, I was half of the technical crew in charge of our space mission.
Samsung SSD Awesomeness My hero project, in which I produced the project from idea, execution through to groundbreaking seeding strategy.
