Microsoft Student Accelerator projects

These were created during the training phases of the Microsoft Student Accelerator programme for 2015-2016.

• Phase 1: apt - A Windows app for Auckland's public transport
  An app made using Auckland Transport's API. Has full real-time tracking and live updates that I believe at the time no other Windows app was doing. (September 2015)
• Phase 2: University of Contoso web app
  ASP.NET/C# web app, made for a hypothetical scenario. Written from scratch in less than 4 days. (November 2015)

Random and old things

• TFTP Server + Client
  TFTP Client and Server implementation in Java, written from scratch from the spec. Done as part of a course at the University of Auckland. (September 2015)
• NXTBUS API Scraping
  Using YQL to grab content from ACTION's NXTBUS website API when it hadn't officially launched it's API. It still works, amazingly. (August 2014, now removed as YQL no longer exists)
• .NET Binary: XML Data with SOAP (NBFX.js)
  MC-NBFX parser written in TypeScript. Was to be used for an app port to web-based technologies for something that was using WCF Binary in the backend. (January 2016)
• Virtual Japanese Manuscript Paper
  A flexible manuscript paper grid created purely with HTML and CSS. Because why not? Also serves as good handwriting practice when printed. (December 2015)
• Haru Rock #1/ハルロック 1Ω
  Translation of a unique manga for fun, using my limited Japanese knowledge. (October 2015)
• ZTE MF626 and MF636 Telecom Skin
  Made this skin because the software was damn ugly. Used the new "Shine" branding (with that big asterisk logo) that Telecom had just launched at the time. (Christmas Day 2009)
• Vodafone NZ Forum Improvement User Scripts and Related Items
  This is a seriously old set of user scripts I made for when I was relatively active on the Vodafone NZ Forum. Basically a whole bunch of Greasemonkey scripts that made using the forum interface easier. (~2008-2009)
