Profile

I'm a self-taught PHP developer with a hungry brain. I need to create things and I use opensource for all the things! I've contributed to projects like Joomla (currently top 28 contributor), Prestashop & Twitter Bootstrap.

I enjoy creating & managing development teams improving the workflow and tools used. Setup healthy development environments to then teach (and learn!) junior devs to get them on board.

I've been entrepeneur. That helped me to understand sides of a company: developers and the company itself. Improve developers skills and ship things in time is my secret formula. I'm naturally born to lead and the kind of guy that everybody ends asking for help. Press F1 to connect with me.
