About me

Bonjour, my name is Cyril Mazur, I'm 25 and to sum it up: I love PHP, I love Linux (and Apple, I must confess), and I love everything that relates to the web.

In 2010, while graduating an MSc eBusiness at Oxford Brookes University, I co-founded Forexagone.com (french) with 2 mates. That's the biggest project I lead so far, I learnt a lot, and it's still being an awesome experience.

I'm involved in many web projects, and still have plenty of new ideas that I want to implement. I'm not looking for a job right now, but feel free to have a look at my résumé anyway for your information ;-)

What I do »

  • I write PHP, and I like when my code is clean, easily understandable by my fellow programmers and can be re-used for other projects. Keywords in my PHP world are: OOP, Framework, WordPress, memCache, Eclipse, SVN, team work, scalable systems, simplicity and maintainability
  • I layout HTML pages. Give me a .psd fiel and I won't stop until I finally give life to an awesome dynamical W3C-compliant new-born page. HTML5 is great, but never forget why we make web pages: to fulfill surfers' needs. I won't forget what XHTML taught me: clean separation between content and style, accessibility matters, semantic meaning...
  • I set up, tweak and optimize web servers. My recipe is simple: take a fresh and pure Debian installation, install just what you need, analyze the needs and configure and tweak the softwares according to them. Wait some time to get feedbacks on the performances and tweak again... Quick, I get efficient servers for my web applications.
  • I do business, because it's good to make awesome websites, but it's better to make money with them. Business plan, market study, SEO, e-marketing, advertisement, A/B tests, heuristic evaluations... are things I can't miss when rolling out a new website.
