👋

Heya, I'm Dries, open-source maintainer and one of the core team members of Laravel where I maintain the first-party libraries. In my free time I've built and maintain various open-source projects of my own like:

• Blade UI Kit - Renderless components to utilise in your Laravel Blade views
• 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

I also co-organise monthly user group events here in Belgium in the cities of Antwerp and Ghent. And I also co-organise the Full Stack Europe conference here in Antwerp.

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.

Thank you so much for helping me out! 👏
