About
Active in the PHP and web community for over 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to explore a wide range of roles: developer, trainer, speaker, technical expert, Developer Advocate (notably at Blackfire and Platform.sh), Product Manager focused on developer experience, and CTO.
A regular contributor to the open source ecosystem — especially around PHP and Symfony — I’ve always been committed to sharing knowledge, whether through code, documentation, or community support.
I’m now back to hands-on engineering as a Software Engineer at Qobuz, the high-resolution music streaming platform, where I work on backend and full-stack topics with Symfony. Working daily with AI coding agents, I’ve experienced first-hand the cognitive cost of “augmented” development — which led me to dig into the research behind it. My guiding principle hasn’t changed: building useful products that stay close to the needs of their users.
Jérôme Vieilledent is a member of the community since August 2007.
