A Module Quality Reviewing System for the Loughborough Computer Science Department (Sept. 2007)
This was my final project for my MSc degree at Loughborough University. I used the PHP framework CakePHP in order to build this system. The project involved a complete system development starting from discussions with the client in order to get the requirements, then moving on to researching the best technologies to use and finally programming and testing the system. A copy of my final report can be downloaded here in pdf format:

Testing of Web Applications (June 2005)
My final project for my BSc degree at the University of Malta. The work done involved the creation of a PHP-based CMS and testing of the web application mostly involving security aspects. I therefore investigated various hacking tools and methodologies and then tried to hack my own website, providing details of each attempt and information about that vulnerability.
