About Me

Jan Oris

Let Me Introduce Myself

My name is Jan Oris. I’m a studious PHP developer with soft spot for developing creative and innovative solutions for web-related problems. I try to use strong architectures and clean coding techniques as a solid foundation for all my work, supplemented with the latest web technologies to ensure the best possible result.

I’m proficient in agile development methodologies such as scrum, XP and Kanban to ensure an efficient work flow with both customers and team members. Also I’m very fond of teaching new skills to others, be it programming, methodologies or other ideas.
