Hugo Hamon

Passionate about IT and Web technologies since 2000, I have turned my passion into my profession. I have been developing with the PHP language for 15 years and also have 10 years of experience with the Symfony framework. I discovered the project in 2006 in its 1.0 version. Since then, I have continuously been interested in the project, becoming one of its main contributors.

On a daily basis, PHP and Symfony are my preferred technologies. I am very attached to the quality of software development, which is why I complement my code with quality control tools and practices: versioning with Git, unit tests with PHPUnit, functional tests with Behat, continuous integration with Circle CI, object-oriented programming and design patterns, etc.

My experience as a trainer at SensioLabs, as well as my recognition by my peers in the PHP community, have allowed me to speak at numerous conferences worldwide since 2009. I have had the opportunity to share my knowledge at prestigious events:

- Forum PHP AFUP (Paris)

- Paris Web (Paris)

- Blend Web Mix (Lyon)

- Confoo (Montreal, Vancouver)

- DrupalCon (Portland, Austin, Dublin)

- Symfony Live (Paris, London, Berlin, Cologne, San Francisco, New York)

- SymfonyCon (Warsaw, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Cluj)

- PHPTek (Chicago)

- OSI Days (Bangalore)

- Sunshine PHP (Miami)

- PHP NZ (Wellington)

- Dutch PHP Conference (Amsterdam)

- PHP North West (Manchester)

- PHP Benelux (Antwerp)

- etc.

I am bilingual (French and English) and have some basic knowledge of German. I am also co-author of a book on Symfony 1.2 published by Éditions Eyrolles (published in June 2009, with a print run of 2,500 copies) and founder of the French-speaking Symfony user group (AFSY).
