Hey friends,

My name is Stefan Bauer. You'll find me on Twitter at @stefanbauerme. I'm a full-stack developer, entrepreneur, UI/UX enthusiast, and bacon-lover. I live in Germany near Munich and I love PHP and awesome design. I am a big fan of Laravel, VueJS, InertiaJS, Livewire, AlpineJS, and TailwindCSS.

At the end of 2018 I built pingping.io, a simple and affordable monitoring SaaS application for everyone. I started to build it in public where I created a journal about it.

Some weeks before Laracon EU 2019, my buddy Bobby Bouwmann and I decided to write a book called Laravel Secrets where we share everything we know about the hidden and undocumented secrets of the Laravel framework.

I love OpenSource. So far I have developed 2 packages that may help one or the other. I would like to concentrate more on OpenSource, but time does not allow it at the moment. If I had a little more financial independence, I could do that.

Please don't feel obligated to sponsor me. I see this as a relationship where we help each other. So if you like what I do, feel free to support me.

Want to be my friend?

– Stefan
