Open source maintainer of the ByJG ecosystem — framework-free PHP components, Gluo, and DevOps tooling.
- Keep it simple. If it's hard, it's wrong — pick the simplest thing that solves the real need.
- No framework lock-in. Small, composable components you can use alone or together.
- Real tests. Tests exist so the code can be refactored without fear.
- Understand the tool. Use databases, HAProxy, and Docker the way they were designed, not around them.

These projects are maintained in my own time. If a ByJG library or tool saved you time or keeps your systems stable, GitHub Sponsors helps keep them maintained, tested, and documented.
