  • ConcurrencyHelper

    ConcurrencyHelper is a library for easily and efficiently running any callable via multiple parallel PHP instances.

  • ConsolePainter

    BEAUTIFUL Console Colors via a Fluent Interface.

  • phpexperts/console-painter is also pretty cool, I think.

  • form-mapper-bundle

  • My own mapper. It greatly improves already over-powered symfony/forms by adding support for static analysis for all reader/writer methods, and empty_data callable (plus few other goodies). Partial documentation is here but this old version did allow users to make a type error which would then be converted to validation error. But that was just hiding the problem.

  • strict-form-mapper-bundle

    Go strict

  • My own mapper. It greatly improves already over-powered symfony/forms by adding support for static analysis for all reader/writer methods, and empty_data callable (plus few other goodies).

  • MultiPhreading

    PHP Multi Process Threading, Shared Memory Berkley Keystore, Message Queue system.

  • wp-acf-builder

    An Advanced Custom Field Configuration Builder using Closure and helpers methods

  • I wrote a PHP package to build ACF with WordPress using closures. I did this because the agency I worked for months ago used the StoutLogic/acf-builder package but I didn't like using it as it was highly unreadable to me. My package works better with IDE autocompletion.

  • IaafPoints

    PHP library to calculate IAAF scoring points of athletics and IAAF scoring points for combined events.

  • I have multiple incomplete (some are not even abandoned!) projects that might turn out better, but out of the completed & unpopular ones I am most proud of my World Athletics points calculator just because of how much reverse engineering work we've put into it. It just feels like an achievement to create it at all.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Encrypted

    Encryption cast for Eloquent

  • One more package that I'm proud of (but that SHOULD NOT be used) is a couple or Laravel custom casts. I am proud because these exact features are now inside the Laravel framework itself, that's why you shouldn't use my package on new projects. Unfourtunatey I didn't expect these features would be welcome in core so I didn't do the PRs myself, the casts in framework is unrelated to my work :)

  • class-finder
