Community Contributions

Apart from my professional portfolio, I have contributed to several open source projects. On this page, I keep a list of these contributions, mostly for my own reference.

Projects I started:

Bright Nucleus Framework Components

The Bright Nucleus Framework is a set of reusable Composer packages mainly targeted at WordPress projects.

They all share the same goal of bringing reusable code and proper OOP principles to existing and new WordPress projects. They are best used with Composer and a dependency injection container.

• Bright Nucleus View – Reusable View component, that can provide different implementations.

PHP Composter Framework

The PHP Composter framework and its accompanying extension provide an automated way for developers to include git  hooks within their source code repository. These hooks become immediately active once you’ve run composer install , which can drastically simplify developer on-boarding.

• PHP Composter Framework – Git Hooks Management through Composer.
• PHP Composter PHPCS PSR-2 – Check your PHP source code for PSR2 compliance before committing.

Projects I help maintain:

WordPress is a very popular publishing platform that currently powers a large portion of the world wide web.

I co-maintain the WordPress Bootstrap/Load component and contribute to various other areas of the project.

WP-CLI is a command line interface to the WordPress platform, which allows you to control your websites and execute administrative tasks through the command line.
