<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div><br></div><div>Dear IXP Manager Community,</div><div><br></div><div>We are delighted to introduce and welcome Thomas Kerin to the IXP Manager project as a full-time senior PHP developer.<br><br>Thomas is a seasoned PHP developer with over a decade of experience building robust, security-focused applications. After graduating from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in science, Thomas gained experience through several PHP development roles, which included leadership and security responsibilities. He has worked in diverse industries from educational startups to digital currency service providers. <br><br>Of particular note for our project, Thomas is well-versed in open-source software, best known for the Bitcoin-PHP project, as well as a number of other open-source PHP libraries and extensions in the security and cryptography space. <br><br>While Thomas only joined the project at the start of March, he has already <a href="https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/graphs/contributors" target="_blank">jumped into fourth place</a> with ~100 commits on GitHub’s contributor stats. In particular, he devised a unique approach to identifying potential XSS weaknesses following the ENISA pen-test, which forms part of the iminent v7.2.0 release. <br><br>Thomas’ role is fully funded by sponsors of <a href="https://www.ixpmanager.org/sponsors" target="_blank">the IXP Manager Sponsorship Program</a>, and we’d like to extend our gratitude to BCIX, NIX, INX ZA, LONAP, GRIX, InterLAN and SLIX. <br><br><b>🚨 We need more sponsors. If you are an IXP using IXP Manager, and it is within your means to sponsor the project, <a href="https://www.ixpmanager.org/sponsor-now" target="_blank">please contact us</a>.</b><br><br>Thomas is on this mailing list and looks forward to meeting and collaborating with our IXP Manager community.<br></div><div><br></div>
