Latest Projects

Below are some of the projects I have been working on with a brief description of the techniques used and the final results. Some are large projects carried out over a series of months, whilst others are projects completed in an afternoon.

If you have a project in mind, I would love to hear from you to see if we can work together.

Custom built Wordpress Plugin for Safety Equipment Company

Custom built Wordpress Plugin for Safety Equipment Company

2021-03-26

The company needed a plugin for its Wordpress page that allowed installers to generate a work-order showing the security parameters of an installation.

The objective of this project was to create a tool through a Wordpress plugin that would allow security line installers to calculate the characteristics of an installation using a web form added to an existing Wordpress page.

The company provided me with a spreadsheet that listed a series of parameters that were necessary to carry out an analysis to determine the appropriate product. The sheet also contained the arithmetic formulas necessary to perform the calculations.

I completed the project in 3 steps:

  1. Create a password-protected Wordpress page with a form to collect the necessary parameters for the calculation, and validate them before passing them to the next step.
  2. Convert the spreadsheet formulas into PHP code that could be executed on the client's server and calculate the result.
  3. Present the results on screen and also in PDF.

As an additional step, I programmed a section inside the admin panel (wp-admin) to save the results and show a log, where management could review the generated calculations, see the errors and view the generated PDFs.

With this plugin the company has been able to offer a service to its installers in the field, and to their customers - who can review the system needed for the job they are planning in real time.
