Personal projects

• Programmer

  • Jun 2005 - Present

  Some self-hosted personal projects, mostly open-data related:- http://foto.maglina.ro - Mashup between Google Maps and old images from all over Romania. Written in Django. Mostly inspired by these guys: http://www.oldsf.org/#- http://bucuresti.maglina.ro/ - An "urban archaeology" mashup detailing the construction years of most of the Bucharest buildings. Written in Django, by using the Filters one can have a nice view of the city's urban expansion during the last 70+ years.- http://sate.maglina.ro/ - A history-related project, this is a mashup of the early settlements expansion for one of Romania's main southern provinces. It also has some heatmaps (http://sate.maglina.ro/heatmaps/), which give a better visual understanding of past events. Written in Django with SOLR behind it.- http://www.maglina.ro/news/ - A Romanian news aggregator, now put on hold. This is where I first implemented automatic categorization and clustering. Written in Django, all the backend AI-related stuff is also written in Python.- http://www.maglina.ro/bc/ - One of my first projects (~2006), this is a mashup between Google Maps and the Bucharest crimes reported in the local press. Because the police records were only accessible through said newspaper articles I had to write some smart Python code in order to get the relevant information out (like street-names and street-numbers of crime incidents), which then I tried to geo-locate and display on the map. Written in Django and obviously inspired by chicagocrime.org (http://www.holovaty.com/writing/chicagocrime.org-tribute/). Project now put on hold.- There's also a couple of one-time, for-fun-only small projects (also open-data related) which I post about from time to time on my personal blog: http://maglina.blogspot.com/ (written in Romanian)
