Olivier Buisard

I am a French-born freelancer established in New York, USA. I have been creating web sites since 1997, following the web standards and their evolution over the years.

I have participated in building web applications in the companies I have been working for, from server and database development to user interface design.

I am now fully committed to building high quality extensions for the Joomla! community as well as providing a Joomla-based web presence for my clients.

My latest Joomla involvement

• At the beginning of 2017, I took over the Joomla! User Group of New-York City with Stewart Newfeld.
• Since April 2021, I have been helping Laura Gordon with the organization of Joomla Day USA, now a major Joomla yearly event in North America and beyond. I specifically work on the website and animate the Bugs and Fun workshop during the event.
• In September 2021, Yannick Gaultier, Eoin Oliver and I created the Joomla Extensions Developers user group on Facebook to bridge the gap between third party developers and the core Joomla team.
• In July 2022, I have taken the role of Release Manager with Shirielle Williams for the Joomla version 4.3, due April 2023. I am proud of my contribution to the community, and I made a new friend.
• These days, I am at the head of the Enhancement Development Team, help organize Pizza Bugs and Fun, and keep the Guided Tours' project alive with Shirielle, feature that was included in Joomla 4.3.
• Recently, I started working on J2Commerce (previously J2Store) with Adam Melcher.
