Hello, I'm Costin Trifan
I am a PHP developer located in Bucharest, Romania and I have over 15 years of experience with web technologies. I love working on challenging projects because they keep me on my toes and they've always gave me that satisfaction we all strive for when the project is up and running on a live server. I strive to get better and learn new things every day. My focus is on Laravel framework and from time to time WordPress, creating themes, plugins or custom modules.
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.
