**stealth startup** · PHP Developer

for 6 months in early 2010s

## What I did

- Developed a “retail” closed-source PHP CMS/CMF
- Brought my print media experience to digital publishing: one of the first CMSes with drafts, notes, collaborative editing and real workflows (with sign-offs)

## What I achieved

- Dragged it to the first release and real consumer sites
- Realized that open source is the future

## What I learned

- How to make something for specific audiences — other developers, media and SEO people
