About Me


Hi, I'm Ed Lomonaco and I'm a developer who lives & works in Grand Rapids, MI.

I've been programming since 2001, when I was in high school. My first love was PHP and my first PHP app was a search engine for my website.

After making my first website in high school, I decided that this was what I wanted to do for a living.

I went to Davenport University where I got my bachelors in Computer Information Systems.

While PHP is my first love, it's not my only love, I also love to develop with C#, Kotlin, and Swift. Currently I've been working with PHP & Laravel these days now that I'm part of the wellness team of my company.

Recently mobile development has been my new interest, I've been doing some mobile work and I prefer developing native apps using Kotlin & Swift than using a cross-platform solution.
