Summary
🤩
RockstarRuud Boon is a multidisciplinary creative producer and technologist based in Amsterdam with 11 years of professional experience blending live events, lighting and AV systems with web and backend software development. He leads production for shows and festivals while operating complex event-IT setups—expert in GrandMA3, Avolites, Riedel, NDI, Dante and real-time streaming protocols—bringing a developer’s precision to live operations. As a longtime PHP/Phalcon contributor and former core team member, he has a strong focus on test-driven reliability, especially around security and encryption in high-performance PHP systems. He also builds custom web applications (PHP/Phalcon, Vue/Nuxt, MySQL) for clients, bridging creative requirements with pragmatic engineering.

That combination makes him adept at turning complex, real-time technical challenges into polished audience experiences.
