About

I’m Grégoire Pineau, a web tinkerer with ops tendencies, based near Paris. On the internet, I’m lyrixx.

I have been working at JoliCode since 2017, as a developer and ops. I also work at redirection.io as a tech lead and architect.

Open source

I’m a member of the Symfony Core Team. I became a core contributor in 2016, after the Workflow component got merged, and I still maintain it. I also contribute a lot to symfony/ai.

And I maintain a few other projects:

  • Castor, a task runner in PHP
  • docker-starter, a skeleton to start a web project with PHP, Docker and Castor
  • beberlei/metrics, a single PHP API to send metrics to StatsD, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry and many others
  • gitlib, a PHP library to access git repositories
  • consul-php-sdk, a thin PHP wrapper around the Consul HTTP API

If you want (and can), you can sponsor me to continue to work on open source.

What do I use?

PHP with Symfony, Go, Rust, and JavaScript or TypeScript with React. I like working with PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, ClickHouse and Elasticsearch. And for ops, I use Docker, Ansible and Terraform.

Where can you find me?

I give some talks, in France, Belgium and Canada so far. I also write on the JoliCode blog.

You can also find me on GitHub, X, Bluesky and Mastodon.
