Ingo Schommer
Core Developer
Ingo fled from German winter in 2006 to gain some foreign experience, and ended up on a beautiful island in the Pacific called New Zealand. As the natives turned out to be quite the friendly bunch, he decided to stay a little bit longer and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Wellington and the lush nature around it.
At SilverStripe, he analyses and builds modern web applications, making sure they work well in a browser, not just on paper. He is a frequent contributor to the open source platform, facilitates community involvement, and helps to architect and implement core functionality. Ingo authored the first book about SilverStripe.
Besides freelancing as a PHP- and Flash-developer for several years, he graduated as Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Media Production. He is particularly interested in bringing rich applications to the browser through the fascinating possibilities of JavaScript.
Ingo admits to being a RSS addict, checking shirt designs, reading up about collaborative filtering and the geographic web. If he manages to drag himself away from his Mac, you can most likely find him running or bouldering.
Mintsauce on toast is just wrong!
