Jigal van Hemert

After spending years with various programming languages Jigal came into contact with TYPO3 in 2006 at the advertising agency he worked for at that time. Together with the two websites for which he maintained the custom extensions Jigal moved to a TYPO3 agency. TYPO3 turned out to be quite addictive and after some time he sent his first patch to the core development mailing list. One thing lead to another and a bit later he was invited to join the core team (until the restructuring earlier this year).

Jigal is currently working at the digital agency Redkiwi where he develops integrations with external systems and migrations of data.

At home Jigal likes to cook and helps his wife take care of their pack of nine dogs.
