These are some side projects that I have engaged on in my spare time or as an open-source adjunct to my work. These projects generally do not represent my professional work.
Haiku Depot Server - Open Source Lead
This is an open-source project that provides an application server support-system for the software package-management services of the Haiku-OS project. The application server, written using Java and SpringBoot, is concerned with supporting community interactions around packages (rating, screenshots, icons etc…) as well as providing a web-accessible catalogue of the packages. The project is hosted on GitHub. The application server provides an AngularJS-based single-page web interface as well as a set of REST-RPC web services that supports a C/C++ desktop client (separate project) provided with the operating system. I started the project around 2012 / 2013 and have continued to maintain it since.
