Oliver Klee is a CEO and seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience, leading Brain Gourmets while running TYPO3 development and workshop services through oliverklee.de. A certified TYPO3 expert and maintainer of Emogrifier, he combines hands-on back-end work on the TYPO3 core with front-end contributions like improvements to the popular jquery-timeago plugin. His open-source focus emphasizes code quality, testing and modern PHP practices—evident from contributions to phpunit, a PHP CSS parser, and multiple TYPO3 bug fixes and unit tests. Based in Bonn, he pairs a formal Informatics diploma (with psychology minor) with practical training experience, regularly teaching workshops that translate deep technical knowledge into usable developer skills. Colleagues describe him as someone who spots subtle type and test issues early and turns maintenance-heavy projects into maintainable, future-ready code.
