PHP

In the PHP world you might know my small contributions to larger projects like the PSR-11 (the PHP Standards Recommendations for Container interface), Composer, PHPUnit and the Heroku PHP buildpack. Or maybe from my larger contributions to smaller projects like PHPTAL and the PHP_CodeSniffer Standards Composer Installer Plugin. Or maybe from the PHPTwente meetup group or the PHP Hooligans talks (and cool scarf).

BASH

In the BASH world you might be familiar with my work for BPKG (the BASH Package Manager) or my involvement with BATS (the Bash Automated Testing System).

If you use Docker for your CI, maybe you have heard of the Pipeline-components I help create and maintain for Gitlab-CI, Github Actions, Travis or just locally. (See https://pipeline-components.dev/ for details).

PlantUML

I created the Unofficial PlantUML Standard Library Repositories organization on GitHub, so maintainers can support each other and their contributions to the official PlantUML Standard Library.

A lot of other small things

Or maybe you just came across my distinctive cartoon avatar in any of the 200+ merge requests to all sorts of projects.
