I started coding PHP back in 2002 but never professionally until 2008 when I landed in a Dutch company in a new project. We didnt use any framework (quite a mistake) but I learned the internals extremely good. Since then I've work in some top noch PHP companies like Privalia.com, I was CTO at TuManitas.com and since 2009 I've been developing Open Classifieds, based on Kohana PHP framework. I have released plenty of Open Source work, on phpclasses and github. You can check the quality. I have more than 16.000 clients using any of my work.

I started using MySQL early in 2002, since then I moved between other platforms such as SQL server and since 2008 I only work with MySQL. I am an expert in optimizing Queries and doing DB model using always the best engine you can use for each task. I love to modelate DB and denormalize them. Be aware I am not a SYS admin expert I can help you with some basics of replication but that is not my best skill. Query problems? data type doubts? engine doubts? that's me ;)
