Stefan Priebsch

With a degree in computer science from the Technical University of Munich, I've been programming computers for 40 years and have over 30 years of professional experience as a consultant, coach, and trainer.

As co-founder and CEO of The PHP Consulting Company, I've helped countless organizations improve their PHP development practices and architecture.

I'm the author of more than half a dozen specialist books on PHP and software development, with around 70 articles published in technical magazines. I regularly speak at international conferences and am involved in organizing events such as ComoCamp.

I'm also an inventor with two patents and have contributed to the founding of The PHP Foundation, supporting the broader PHP ecosystem.
