Hey, I'm Punyapal 👋

What I do

Most of the stuff I work on is around Laravel and PHP.

I build applications, developer tools, packages, and things around testing, static analysis, refactoring, and developer workflows.

A lot of my work ends up in open source, so you'll probably find something being built, something being maintained, or sometimes something weird here.

A little story

I made my GitHub account in 2019 after an interviewer told me I should probably have one.

Then I basically forgot about it.

A few years later, in 2023, I hit a bug in an open source package while working on a client project. I could have worked around it, but decided to fix it instead.

That turned into my first pull request.

I started learning how open source actually works, kept contributing, and somehow that became a big part of what I do today.

These days I'm on the Core Team at Pest and Pinkary, maintain open source projects, contribute across the Laravel and PHP ecosystem, and run Laravel Artisans.

Most of what I build is for developers. Tools, packages, fixes, and sometimes weird little things that solve a problem I ran into.

That's probably the simplest way to describe what I do here.

Currently

Maintaining Pest and Pinkary.

Building Laravel things.

Trying to make developer tooling a little less annoying.

Support my work
