In his spare time he contributes to PHPUnit, jenkins-php.org and some other smaller projects while enjoying chess, poker, gaming and watching esports.

Vertical reuseability through components
This talk will feature and overview of an architecture that enables heavy reuse of even the smallest components by showing the details of the researchgate.net implementation.
Using this approach enables developers to take page elements, like a single “follow” button, and place it everywhere on the site without having to duplicate any PHP, JS, HTML, CSS or AJAX endpoint in the process.
It goes on to show what scalability, performance and UX improvements this enables and should provide a couple new ideas that are usually not explored in a classic (H)MVC approach.
