I am Bruno Škvorc (pronounced Sh + Quartz), a web developer from Croatia, and I'm a semi-regular author on SitePoint and other websites and a freelance developer focusing on new and potentially experimental technologies. More than a year later, I was asked to step in for Tim as the new PHP editor, and I couldn't be more humbled and honored. I continued to write for SitePoint and other platforms, but always strived to deliver my best work here – on the very site that gave me so many excellent tutorials which made me who I was. Finally, I applied to write an article for PHPMaster in July 2012.

The following several years consisted entirely of experimentation, failures and endless StackOverflow trips. I realized PHP's true potential for rapid application development, and branched out on my own. After being thrown into the fire on my first real job and being forced to learn a huge and broken enterprise Zend app in two weeks, my cherry was popped. I started out as a PHP hobbyist many years ago. He leaves behind a legacy of awesome: countless high quality articles, a fantastic and well formed writers pool, and a reputation one cannot easily catch up with. September 30th marked the stepping down of Timothy Boronczyk, Phpmaster's long time editor.
