# Yves Engetschwiler

> Personal site of Yves Engetschwiler, a web and application developer and speaker. The site shares articles, talks, and notes about building software with the Laravel ecosystem.

This site is a small, hand-built personal corner of the web. It focuses on practical writing about real-world projects, the tools behind them, and the lessons learned along the way. Content is written in English and published as plain Markdown rendered through a Laravel application.

The author works primarily with PHP and Laravel, and contributes to open source — most notably a Livewire-based file manager package for Laravel applications. Topics on the site include Laravel, Livewire, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, NativePHP, application architecture, developer tooling, and the occasional behind-the-scenes story about side projects.
