I'm Jérôme Gamez, a platform and backend engineer with 20+ years of experience.
I'm a Jack of all trades with a soft spot for PHP, legacy software and, of course, Open Source software.
My mission is to make the work of all developers (myself included) more productive and enjoyable. I have a special affinity for code quality, stability, and legacy software, and consider no code base to be unmaintainable 💪🏻.
My most prolific project is the (unofficial) Firebase Admin SDK for PHP and its related libraries, which are downloaded 1.5M+ times a month, but I also publish and maintain many more Open Source projects at BESTE and my personal accounts.
