About Steffen Müller
Since 2002, I am a software developer and architect for the TYPO3 content management system. In my work I consider user experience, performance, security and programming patterns. Beside TYPO3 I am interested in topics about LAMP, couchDB, mobile web, IT security, performance tuning, but also non technical stuff like scrum, open source communities, communication science and knowledge management.
Since the very beginning I am a strong enthusiast and an active member of the TYPO3 community. I have been a member of the official TYPO3 security team from 2004-2008. I contribute to the TYPO3 core and various community extensions. My main project at the moment is the TYPO3 core logging project. Since April, 2010 I am a supporting member of the TYPO3 Association.
About TYPO3
The Open Source CMS TYPO3 is my favourite tool for content management. It combines enterprise level features with a well networked, highly active and progressive open source community.
