👋

Hello, I'm Costin Trifan

I am an energetic, professional, trustworthy, problem solver and team spirit person. I am a Laravel consultant with over 15 years of experience with web technologies, I'm known for my problem-solving skills and my ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams. I have had the opportunity to work on various projects, from small to big ones, with top and various sized companies from Europe and US and every single one of them has been an extraordinary experience. I am attracted mostly to leadership positions which allow me to perform at my best and also have the opportunity to mentor members of my team. I am only interested in remote work and B2B contracts.

My Projects

ValPress

This project aims to provide the simplicity & easiness of WordPress in building websites to the Laravel framework. It provides support for Custom Post Types, reading settings, Under maintenance mode, Posts, Pages, Categories, Tags, Themes, Plugins, actions, filters out of the box, pretty much like WordPress does.

It also provides Themes and Plugins management, and updates through the api.valpress.net. Core updates are also available through the api. A default theme with dummy content is also provided out of the box to give you a fresh start.

This project is still under heavy development because I plan on constantly improving it and eventually become better than any CMS out there.
