I wrote my first line of code in PHP back in 1999, and I've been hooked ever since!

Over the years, I've honed my skills as a full-stack developer, specializing in:

• 🖥️ Backend: PHP with Symfony & API-Platform, leveraging the power of ReactPHP for asynchronous event-driven applications.
• 🌐 Frontend: VueJS & Nuxt, using the awesome TailwindCSS for styling
• ⚡ Real-Time Updates: Powered by Mercure
• 📱 Hybrid Apps: Built with Capacitor
• ☁️ Hosting: DigitalOcean evangelist, Caddy for efficient web server / HTTPS management, Cloudflare to keep things speedy
• 💾 Databases & search: Primarily MySQL, mostly Meilisearch ♥️
• 🚛 CI & CD: Of course GitHub Actions, and also Deployer
• 🤖 Generative AI: Data augmentation with Claude, Deepseek, OpenAI and Mistral's APIs.

I'm currently working on Meiliweb, an open-source UI for Meilisearch.
