Corporate Keys (Ckeys):
Live url:
Live url:
Main company e-commerce webapp built on native PHP. Uses PHP Version 5.6.31 and 5.5.56-MariaDB. Both NZ and AU sites run on a single codebase, contents changes based on the domain being used. Project is composed of two sub-projects, FE (Front-end) and GS (Back-end). Both of these sub-projects have their own code repository but resides on a single directory when deployed.
Ckeys project have two main data, CKI and CKA data. CKI’s are our partner hotels (residences) and they manage their data using backend with provide for them. CKA’s are apartments that is managed by our staff through GS.
CKI (Residences Back End - Admin CKI)
Live url:
Main Backend for our Partner hotels (Residences). This is where they manage their own listings, see reports, etc. This webapp was built on Kohana v.3 (Discontinued).
Multi/Mini Hotel Site
Live url:
Live url (Multi-location):
Live url:
Live url:
Multiple domain webapp running on a single codebase. This project was built on Laravel 5.2. We have two types of setup available, single location, and multi-location (ie: Manhattan apartments). Single location sites are basically a single building only site for a single domain. Multi-location site involves having a specific building as a main location and other building as other locations. Contents greatly change between this two setup even though they run on a single codebase.
Hospital Stays and HPS (Hotel Repository Service)
Live url:
Webapp that provides nearby hotels or accommodation to hospitals all throughout Australia. Hospitalstays and HPS are both built on Laravel 5.2. This was initially a single project but then we decided to extract all data processing into a REST Based API system called as HPS. Main purpose is to be able to provide a single data provider for hotel and location information. HPS strongly rely on live scraping booking.com for availability and rates hence a single change on booking.com’s layout can cause major issues on HPS scraping logic.
Pets on Holidays
Dev url:
A webapp that was intended for pet accommodations and directory of pet related services. Project was built on Laravel 5.4. This project was on-hold and was never deployed live.
Roosty - ON
A webapp that was intended to provide hotel and apartment directory. Project was built on Kohana 3 and was never deployed live. Currently on-hold.
