Fabien Potencier

Fabien Potencier discovered the Web in 1994, at a time when connecting to the Internet was still associated with the harmful strident sounds of a modem. Being a developer by passion, he constantly looked for better ways to build websites. Fabien founded the Symfony project in 2004 to fulfill this goal. Fabien is a serial-entrepreneur. He founded Sensio in 1998, which became SensioLabs in 2012. In 2018, he founded Symfony SAS, the company behind Symfony to focus on creating new SaaS solutions helping PHP developers improve their Symfony experience: SymfonyCloud, SymfonyInsight and the Symfony certification. On top of that, the company leads the Open-Source project, the community and organizes the Symfony conferences. Fabien is also the creator of several other Open-Source projects, a writer, a blogger, a speaker at international conferences, and the happy father of two wonderful kids.
