Mathieu Santostefano

As a developer for almost 15 years, I work with Symfony on a daily basis. Having worked with almost every version since 1.4, I have followed the evolution of the entire PHP ecosystem, eventually becoming an active contributor and joining the Symfony Core Team in 2021!
Still passionate about this community and its enthusiasm, I enjoy sharing my experience on stage at conferences such as Forum PHP, SymfonyLive, SymfonyCon, and API Platform Con!

Sessions Montréal 2026

APIs secured, the modern way

Session en Anglais - Intermédiaire

Securing APIs has become more standardized with modern solutions like OAuth2, OIDC, JWT and rate limiting. Now, tools like Keycloak and Symfony’s new features simplify implementing these protocols.
As an API developer, you’ll learn to enhance your API’s security. As an API consumer, you’ll discover how to interact securely with external APIs. Join us to master secure API practices, without the complexity!

Unveil Symfony AI

Session en Anglais - Débutant

July 2025, the Symfony AI was launched as an initiative, just like Symfony UX, to help developers integrate AI into their apps with ready-to-use components and bundles.
In this talk, let’s discover Symfony AI’s origins, explore its components, and learn how to use them with any AI platform. We’ll also cover how to get started using it in your PHP apps and contribute to the project!
