Principal Engineer/Product Manager, Zend by Perforce

Matthew is Project Lead for the Laminas Project, including Laminas API Tools, and Mezzio. His duties include coordinating contributors, managing milestones and timelines, tossing ideas over the fence, and occasionally writing code for the projects. In addition, he is a member of PHP-FIG, and was editor of the PSR-7 specification for HTTP Message Interfaces. He is an enthusiastic proponent of open source software, particularly due to its collaborative and transparent processes. Most days you will find him in his home office in South Dakota, USA, with a Basset Hound and Boston Terrier distracting him from typing.
