I wrote my first line of code in PHP back in 2002, 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 maintain several PHP packages:
- 🧰 bentools/freddie: A Mercure Hub written in PHP with Redis-based horizontal scaling.
- 🔄 bentools/etl: A PHP ETL library.
- ➰ bentools/iterable-functions: Add missing PHP functions:
iterable_map(),iterable_filter(),iterable_chunk(), ... - 📦 bentools/cartesian-product: Low-memory library for generating data combinations.

- 🧩 match-operator: A JavaScript port of PHP's
matchoperator. - 🎲 bentools-picker: A Javascript library to easily pick a random item from an array, with weight management.
