Fabien Potencier
Fabien Potencier discovered the Web in 1994, at a time when connecting to the
Internet was still associated with the harmful strident sounds of a modem.
Being a developer by passion, he started to build websites with PHP5 in 2004
and created the symfony framework to help his company leverage the
power of PHP for its customers.

Fabien is also the creator of other Open-Source projects, a writer, a blogger,
a speaker at international conferences, and a happy father of two wonderful
kids.

Open-Source, cross-pollination and sharing are the keys to open your mind and benefit from the work of other communities.
