I'm Corey Ballou and I'm the CEO of POP.co, tech blogger, open source contributor, beer lover, homebrewer, aspiring entrepreneur, Queen City PHP co-organizer. I wrangle chickens, homebrew beer, and garden when granted free time.

I double as a freelance custom web applications developer specializing in PHP with 9+ years of experience building startups and MVPs. If you need a lead architect on a project, please get ahold of me on my contact page.
