Founder & CEO

I am the founder and CEO of Tideways. I started the company over 10 years ago with the mission to move the PHP ecosystem forward, starting with performance. As managing director, I work across product, strategy, and the day-to-day of building a developer-focused SaaS business.

I’m a core contributor to the Doctrine open-source project and a founding board member of the PHP Foundation, which reflects my long-standing commitment to the PHP ecosystem. I particularly enjoy working at the intersection of application performance, developer experience, and the open-source community that makes PHP what it is. Outside of work, I enjoy board games, hiking, and coffee.
