Trainer Profile: Joe Ferguson

Joe Ferguson is a PHP developer and community organizer. He is a founding member of the hacker/maker space, MidSouth Makers and served on the board for 4 and a half years. March 2014 he co-founded The Memphis Technology Foundation and is also known locally for bringing hackathon to Memphis when he started HackMemphis in 2013.

Joe has always felt sharing knowledge is an excellent way to support the tech community and he contributes by giving lectures and facilitating training sessions at conferences like php[world] and SunshinePHP.
