Hi, I'm Aslan Bennington-Barr!

I'm a Software Developer and Atlassian Certified Expert from Wellington, New Zealand.

I love solving problems, programming, photography, and reading. I like learning languages and useless facts in my spare time.

My Portfolio

Professional Work

TechTime Initiative Group

2021 til present

I've developed Atlassian Plugins for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Confluence, and completed four major certifications to become an Atlassian Certified Expert.

I've worked on customer facing website content and been responsible for work on scripting for data migration projects.

Architectural Business Project Management Tool

2018 - 2022

I have been developing a project management tool for an architectural company, designed to replace their clunky spreadsheet based systems with a purpose-built website. The project is in use but still under development. A demo could be provided on request.

The project has integrations with Xero's WorkflowMax API, uses AJAX and jQuery with an SQL database, and is built on an HTML, CSS and Javascript stack, with PHP files for automating certain API functions.

Group Work

Trovu - Job Search Service

Trovu.co was a project two friends and I began in late 2017. We received a grant which enabled us to continue work, but unfortunately COVID forced us to re-evaluate the viability of the product. A placeholder site is in use for now. A development version demo could be provided on request.

Daily Avocado - SoT Create Camp 2021

I attended the Summer of Tech Create Camp in 2021. My group produced a financial management tool called Daily Avocado, an "instant, automatic and visual insight" into your financial spending habits.

Our project won the Technical Award for the Create Camp, due to our demo and integration with two datasets.

Personal Projects

Doomsday Calculator

The Doomsday Calculator is based on John Conway's Doomsday Rule, which allows us to calculate the day of the week of any date.

I have created a live web version (GitHub), a Java version (GitHub) and a Python version (GitHub).

My Simple Priorities

My Simple Priorities is a priority tracker. It is in early development, but I intend to add lots of features - accounts, multiple priority lists, sub-priority lists etc. I am developing My Simple Priorities because I find to-do lists too one dimensional.

I have created a live web demo (GitHub), and a Java version (GitHub) using Swing.

House Calculator

The House Calculator is a website for calculating how long it would take for you to buy a house, given certain parameters.

I have created a live web demo (GitHub)

This website!

I have built this website from scratch (GitHub) to showcase some of my work. It is written in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, and uses jQuery. I hope you like it!
