Portfolio

PHP Engineer - Laravel Crud Generator
PHP Engineer - Laravel Crud Generator

This project gives the developer the ability to quickly generate CRUD activities from their console. I was the only contributor to this open-source project because it's a tool I used daily in my work and want to share it with others. The application lets you interactively define your database schema, generate a fresh model into your app/Models folder, and lets you specify your default path.

PHP Engineer - Places Locator
PHP Engineer - Places Locator

Places locator is an open-source project built with pure PHP that leverages the Yahoo places API to give the developer the ability to interact with places in an object-oriented way. I worked along with a colleague and we both built this project. Locator is a PHP package that works with the Yahoo API. It returns data that you need just by calling one method. There is a Service Provider and a Facade to make it easy to integrate with your Laravel project. It can also be used with other PHP frameworks like Lumen, CakePHP, Zend, etc.
