GitHub Sponsors Profile

I'm Robin, consultant at @coopTilleuls, member of the @Symfony Core Team and maintainer of LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle.
Mostly involved in the Security and CLI topics, I do contribute to the Symfony/PHP ecosystem for years, submitting and reviewing pull requests but also providing support on Stackoverflow and helping contributors.
Sponsors allow me to dedicate more time enhancing and maintaining open-source PHP libraries such as the Symfony components, as well as getting better knowledge and sharing it all around the world.
My main current focuses:

Symfony is smoothly integrating more modern (standard) authentication flows in core, especially OpenIDConnect. I've helped making the first step in Symfony 6.2: Adding a generic RFC6750-compliant Bearer Access Token authenticator (symfony/symfony#46428). Now helping someone contributing a built-in OIDC authenticator (symfony/symfony#48285).
Also on the Security topic: I gave a talk at SymfonyCon in DisneyLand Paris about GNAP - The future of OAuth. Once the protocol goes stable, an integration will come into Symfony as well (WIP from me). It was my biggest conference so far :).
Started contributing to some Golang OSS, mostly to push forward a recent feature from HTTP that aims to improve application performances: HTTP 103 Early Hints responses, the replacement of HTTP-2 server push (dunglas/vulcain#95).
I keep doing my regular day-to-day maintenance work on Symfony Core (still in top 5 all-time and most active contributors) which also includes reviewing and pushing fixes for security vulnerabilities, as well as improving popular community packages such as lexik/jwt-authenticationbundle and league/oauth2-server-bundle which I maintain on my own.
I keep helping contributors doing contributions, and even become speakers.

Thank you!
