Hi there 👋
I'm Dries, open-source maintainer and one of the core team members of Laravel where I maintain the first-party libraries. I also do the weekly releases of all the first-party packages.
In my free time I've built and maintain various open-source projects of my own like:
- Blade UI Kit - A set of renderless components to utilise in your Laravel Blade views
- Blade Icons - Easily use SVG icons in your Laravel Blade views
- Dotfiles - Start using dotfiles on your Mac
- Laravel.io - The Laravel community portal
- VatCalculator - Handle all the hard stuff related to EU MOSS tax/vat regulations
I also co-organise monthly user group events here in Belgium in the cities of Antwerp and Ghent. And I co-organise the Full Stack Europe conference here in Antwerp.
Working on open-source is my great joy in life and I want to be able to do that as much and as long as I possible can. I hope you like what I work on and that some of it is useful to you. Thanks for visiting!
