Achetez un café à Edilson Santos

Hi, I'm Edilson Santos, a software developer in South Africa.

I've worked as a software developer for over 11 years. I'm currently an Intermediate Software Developer at Digital Cabinet, where I build features for cloud-based paperless business software and fix client issues as they come in. Before that I worked at Customer Loyalty Consultants, Afrihost and Bidvest Data. Most of my work has been in PHP and Symfony, plus Docker environments, automation, APIs and production support.

Outside my day job I build open-source side projects for the developer community. They're self-hosted PHP apps, built in public, with code anyone can read, use and learn from. That covers a portfolio and blogging platform, a journal app, an experiments lab, and a theme store that's coming soon. I share the decisions, the mistakes and the fixes along the way.

That work happens in my own time and runs on my own server. This page is how you can support it. A coffee pays for hosting and upkeep, and it buys me time to keep improving the projects, write documentation and release new work for everyone to use.

Members ($5/month) get early write-ups on what's coming next, plus behind-the-scenes posts on how things are built.

Thank you. Every coffee helps keep this work open and going. ☕
