Jan Oris is a freelance web developer and owner of Ixudra with 13 years of experience building PHP/Laravel applications and guiding small teams toward higher code quality and test coverage. He splits his time between client engagements—most recently helping a Belgian FinTech scale-up, Giftify, improve both its platform and development culture—and running his own shop that delivers well-documented, unit-tested web apps. A hands-on backend engineer, Jan contributed core functionality and a fluent builder API to the popular ixudra/curl Laravel package, showing a focus on ergonomics and robust HTTP integrations. Based in Kortessem, Belgium, he combines pragmatic freelance delivery with the discipline of a long-running product business, offering hosting and operational support alongside development. Unusually for a developer, he also manages beekeeping activities, reflecting a methodical, stewardship-minded approach that carries over into managing code and teams.
