About me

Hi! 🖖 I'm Hermann D. Schimpf, a full-stack developer born on Argentina, currently living in Paraguay.

I have passion for learning and sharing my knowledge with everyone.
Some of my hobbies are gaming and photography.
I've been programming since the 5th grade of elementary school. I made my first game in QBasic and a chat app in VisualBasic 6.0.

My Tech Stack and daily tools

PHP, where using == instead of === can turn a simple comparison into an adventure worthy of Indiana Jones.
TypeScript, making sure you spend more time writing type definitions than actual code.
Laravel, because why write ten lines of code when one artisan command can do it all.
MySQL, where optimizing queries feels like a never-ending quest to find the mythical index that will unlock ultimate performance.
Pest, where 'test-driven development' becomes 'bug-driven extinction'.
Vite, because life's too short to watch webpack spinners.
Bootstrap, to ensure that all websites look the same, because who needs creativity when you can have uniformity?
AWS, the cloud giant that seems all-powerful until you encounter its impenetrable documentation.
serverless, the magic of cloud computing, where servers are like mythical creatures you know they exist, but you can't see them.
Bref, when you thought PHP couldn't get any cooler, it starts doing backflips in the cloud.
git, the grand master of merge conflicts, teaching developers the art of conflict resolution since ages.
composer, where updating dependencies is like stepping on a minefield, and you pray it won't explode your entire project.
npm, to have more packages than presents Santa delivers on Christmas Eve.
xdebug, where debugging feels like a game of whack-a-mole—every time you fix one bug, two more pop up.
Insomnia, because clicking "Send" to test APIs is much cooler than using curl.
PHPStorm, when 'Indexing...' takes longer than a Game of Thrones season.

Some of my work

Laravel API Helpers

A set of helper classes to build APIs in Laravel. The idea behind this is to simplify the filtering, ordering, relationship loading, and pagination of resource collections.

A library that allows you to execute long-running tasks in parallel in PHP. The library provides a simple and easy-to-use way to schedule tasks to run in parallel, track the progress of tasks, and handle errors that occur during task execution.

The library is a wrapper around krakjoe/parallel extension and is designed to work even if the parallel extension isn't available.

Bancard SDK

A library to integrate the vPOS and VentasQR products of Bancard (a Paraguayan payment processing company). The library provides a simple and easy-to-use way to create and process Bancard payments.
