Hello, I'm Daniel Funston

I am a developer with experience in both front end and back end development. I have a background in PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript, as well as various other languages.

Creations

Bottlecap Press

View source on Github

Bottlecap Press commissioned a site to publish their independent literature magazine online. Using a modified and upgraded version of the login and account management systems from my previous project, as well as adding relevant management pages for articles, authors, and issues, Bottlecap Press's magazine site had a custom CMS built from scratch. The resulting site gave a similar feel to reading a magazine. Future updates had been planned, but the project's owner cancelled magazine before further improvements could be made.

Unnamed Video Site

This project was a personal creation that was built to allow users to upload and host videos online. The project had to be halted after technical limitations were reached (video conversion software was needed, but the host used at the time did not allow for software installations). However, the login and account management code, which was written from scratch, would be adapted for use in a future project.

Websocket Chat

A simple IRC-style chat client built using HTML and Javascript, and a server built using Node.js. Communication between both is handled using Websocket connections.

Discord Automoderator

View source on Github

A two part project in development consisting of a Discord chatbot built using Node.js and a plugin for a Minecraft server using Java. Filters profanity and authenticates users on Discord.

Simple Javascript games

A small collection of simple web games built as a personal challenge. The only tools available while building these were Notepad and Internet Explorer without internet access, so these were built purely on existing knowledge.
