Listed below is a selection of my fruits from 2011 and 2012. During this time i worked with two fantastic companies, Microsoft and Tokbox. They have let me share some of the work below

Independent projects

• SplashySplashy - A WebRTC Video Chat application uses getUserMedia and PeerConnection to capture and stream video between two clients. Its built using NodeJs with socket.io to connect two or more clients up.
• Toobify.com - An alternative YouTube player app, which has an awesome UI (self-professed).
• CopyAndPasted.com - A WYSIWYG document text editor

Demos

I like creating mashups to highlight a technology. These are like mini-apps, a little unpolished but fun to build

• Graffiti - Image manipulation An example of the FileAPI to select an image and read it into a Canvas. Draw a doodle, then download it using a FileSaver.
• WokSpace - Video chat and Hello.js demo - I worked with a internet video communications company called TokBox in the first half of 2012. This was a demo i built.
• Unreality - a Geolocation API - a game to find places in the real world to unlock prizes in the virtual
• SVG StickMan inspired by DrawAStickMan

• Hello.js - An OAuth 2.0 client and REST SDK. Connect to Facebook Graph, Windows Live, Google +... etc. with one easy agnostic interface. Used with //auth-server for OAuth 1.0 and 1.0a authentication too.
• // Auth Server - provides a "shim" service for clientside web apps adopting serverside OAuth2 and OAuth1 authentication. Compliments HelloJS.
• Peer.js - A WebRTC wrapping API makes handling connections a doddle, as used by SplashySplashy.
• notification.js - Shims the Notification API with the best alternatives.
• dropfile.js - Shims up IE<10 to support the FileReader via a SilverLight plugin
• jquery-seadragon.js - Microsoft Seadragon is a large image zoomer, and this script enables Seadragon to work on touch devices, and is a much nicer API.
• jquery-form.js - Another shim for bringing the old browsers up to scratch with the HTML5 form. This includes a WYSIWYG editor, as used by CopyAndPasted.
• workspace.js - A helper to make divs flexible, like the old FrameSet used to be, as seen by Toobify.com
• A Non-Blocking Prompt - sorry, yet another jQuery plugin
• … and many more
