About Johan
Johan Janssens has been writing code for almost four decades.
Started with C and game development, co-founded Joomla in 2005 and was lead developer of Joomla 1.5, at its peak it powered ~3% of the web. These days he tinkers with PHP runtimes in Go and C, pushing FrankenPHP into places it probably shouldn’t go. If PHP can’t do it yet, he’ll make it.
