Jérôme Gamez Claim this profile

Hi there 👋

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.
