👋

Heya, I'm Dries, open-source maintainer and one of the core team members of Laravel where I work as a software engineer.

In my free time I've built and maintain various projects of my own like:

• Eventy - Start your own user group for free, RSVP to events, find speakers for your event, list your talks as a speaker and present your slides.
• Blade Icons - Easily use SVG icons in your Laravel Blade views
• Dotfiles - Start using dotfiles on your Mac
• Laravel.io - The Laravel community portal
• VatCalculator - Handle all the hard stuff related to EU MOSS tax/vat regulations

Working on open-source is my great joy in life and I want to be able to do that as much and as long as I possible can. If you like what I do or if you ever made use of something I built, consider supporting me through one of the sponsor tiers here. Either a one-time donation or a monthly sponsorship is greatly appreciated. This will allow me to focus even more time on the projects I'm working on.

GitHub: Select a tier or "One-time" in the sidebar on the right.
