contribution

Ligature was designed as a resource to be utilized in the ongoing development of a number of client projects. Ligature helps support their needs for both content management tools and data services, designed to be consumed by the applications being developed for the web, mobile devices, and on-site installations.

Ligature is comprised of a series of classes built on top of the CakePHP web development framework. Its core function is to automatically generate content management tools that can then be modified to fit the specifics of the data and application. These support the data services which in turn push data formatted as HTML, XML or JSON through a REST interface. This system was architected specifically to support interactive media in any format while writing the least amount of code to get up and running.

As an internal project I was responsible for developing the software architecture and development on both the front and backends.
