Hi, I'm Dayle.

I'm a software developer from South Wales. I'm an author, open-source contributor and conference speaker, and these days you'll find me at Utility Warehouse, building software and growing future tech leaders.

I was one of the first users and contributors to the open-source Laravel PHP framework, helped to shape it in its early days, and wrote the resources that brought it to the masses: Code Happy, Code Bright and Code Smart. They've been read by thousands of developers and translated into a number of different languages. I've also written PHP Pandas for complete beginners and Composer for managing PHP dependencies, and created Rainglow, a collection of over 300 colour themes for code editors.

If a red panda ever helped you learn to code, that was probably me.

Have a look around
