Welcome! - Introduce yourself

[driesvints]

👋 Hey everyone,

Welcome to the Laravel discussions section. I felt that it might be cool to kick-off this section with a thread where you can introduce yourself. I'll start off!

I'm Dries, one of the core maintainers of Laravel where I maintain most of the first party open source libraries. I also maintain Laravel.io which is the Laravel community portal website.

In my free time I work on various open source projects and tweet from my twitter.

Who are you? Let us know in a comment below 👇

Hey everyone 👋

I am Zubair Mohsin, based in Pakistan 🇵🇰

Working on Laravel everyday, every night. I mostly build Shopify apps with Laravel on the Backend and React on front-end. So I guess that makes me Full-Stack 🤷🏻‍♂️

I tweet about Laravel and Shopify App Development stuff. @Zubairmohsin33

Looking forward to useful discussions here 🙏🏼

[nmokkenstorm]

Definately a useful combination for Full Stack work on Shopify apps 💪

Hey 👋 I'm Liam.

I've got a couple of open source Laravel packages I maintain and share some tips about Laravel I've figured out on my site and Twitter.

First picked up Laravel on the tail end of v4, and loved it ever since. I haven't really worked with Laravel in my day job for a couple of years now, but love the framework and community too much I can't get away. Still using Laravel for a bunch of side-projects at least 🎉

I'm a full-stack developer by trade and just feel at-home in the back-end. Relatively new to Laravel still but always keen to jump right in to see what can be built. React is my front-end jam.

Love to travel, see new places, try different foods, learn new languages - currently on 3 besides English!
