Summary
Arne De Smedt is a PHP developer with a decade of hands-on experience building backend systems and full-stack features, currently focused at Combell. He brings strong expertise in PHP, Symfony, MySQL and JavaScript tooling, complemented by templating skills (Twig, Handlebars) and versioned workflows with Git. His background includes full-stack and DevOps responsibilities at a small firm and backend roles for publishing software, giving him a practical blend of operational awareness and product-focused development.
