The Laravel community gave me a lot. I'm giving it back.

Helô! I'm Dan, co-founder of Jump24. I've spent 11+ years building production Laravel apps, I write about what I learn, and I get up on stage to share it. Nerves and all.

Things I've been writing.

Laravel and PHP from someone who ships it every day. Features worth knowing, tests worth writing, and the odd honest look back.

Dan, mic in hand, in conversation on the Laravel News stage.

Bring a developer's perspective to your stage.

I've spoken at PHP Stoke, been on the Laravel News stage, and joined podcasts and streams. Book me for a meetup, conference, panel or podcast: I turn engineering stories into talks teams actually remember. UK, Europe or remote.

Jump24, and a lot of rubber ducks.

I co-founded Jump24 to build the agency I'd want to hire: experienced developers, tests on everything, and straight answers, even when that means telling you not to build something.

We build new Laravel products, rescue and upgrade legacy apps, support them long term, and slot into in-house teams. Laravel Partners (opens in a new tab) since 2019. And yes, we bring ducks. Rubber duck debugging, obviously.
