Why Salesforce? Pivoted to Salesforce when my colleagues needed a quick and efficient way to optimize business processes, sales and even manufacturing processes. That’s how I stepped into the Salesforce world, though most of my career has been focused on web with PHP. Strong love for the Symfony framework.
Currently working as a Salesforce developer at Taylor & Hart where I help with accelerating buesiness processes in sales and manufacturing. I spend my day mostly writing Apex code and lightning components in Salesforce or PHP/Symfony for web features.
As part of Oxxy I was leading the team as a CTO. We started and shipped a drag and drop website builder that allows small business owners to launch a website without any coding skills. For my tasks I used the Symfony PHP framework, MongoDB, javascript for the web builder and AWS as an ifrastructure.
At Webfactory I spent my days mostly coding with PHP and Javascript. As part of a web agency I worked on various projects for different clients up until I started working on Protect Your Bubble. Really thankful to the colleagues that gave me the chance to work on this project and helped me develop my skills.
I became responsible for launching the US web site and lead a team of web developers to deliver and support the project. Duties were a bit different as I needed to work in Atlanta and lead the team overseas. Also, working with a Fortune 500 company has it's perks. Thank you all for the warm welcome in Atlanta!
Digitalus was a hosting company from The Netherlands(later aquired by another company). Here we worked with PHP and Javascript.
Epic times! Great start in the web industry.
Back in the days I started coding websites from scratch using PHP and some custom frameworks. Throughout time I worked with ancient frameworks like CakePHP, Zend and others. Nowadays I mostly work with Symfony. Trying to keep an eye on the Javascript world as well.

With Workbench you can deploy a package.zip file that contains the files you want to delete in a specially formatted destructiveChanges.xml and a package.xml. When using mac I stumbled upon a problem:
problem: No package.xml found

PHP generators allows you to iterate through data by using less memory compared to a standard foreach function. Simple example: If you want to display the numbers between 1 and 5000000 with a simple foreach you may hit the memory limits used by PHP.
