JetBrains

Gary Hockin empowers users of PhpStorm as a Developer Advocate for JetBrains (fine purveyors of quality IDEs). He is a talented and evocative speaker, a cultivated author, and records elegant and informative videos. When Gary had a real job, he was a coder of at least “competent” standard with 20 years experience. When not developing, speaking, reading or writing about developing, Gary enjoys playing computer games and arguing with his wife and two kids. Gary has recently discovered that events ask speakers to write their own biography, and you can get away with writing anything you want.
