As a former theatre actor turned full-stack web developer, Jim Seconde brings an unusual background to the Vonage Developer Relations team as PHP language Advocate. He has a strong passion for meeting up with developers and learning from them, which led him to start speaking on stage and writing about tech culture. With experience in SQL, Business Intelligence, and PHP development, Jim is well-versed in the language he will be advocating for, having taken the plunge into full stack web development in 2010. He is also involved with various meetups and usergroups, including the current PHP usergroup and Fusion meetup team, where he serves as Community Lead.
