On the Cloudways blog they've posted another interview with a member of the PHP community. In this latest post they talk with Samantha Quiñones, a principal software engineer at AOL and user group organizer.

Samantha Quiñones is the principal software engineer at AOL, organizer of DC PHP user group and a speaker. She is a certified R-programmer with vast experience in developing REST APIs. In her interview with Cloudways she talks about the early years of her career, her experience as a speaker and in the end gives advice on who to follow in the PHP community.

In the interview Samantha answers questions about:

• how she got started in her career as a developer
• why she started speaking and where she'll be speaking
• her experience as a security developer at Saint
• what she enjoys doing when not programming

Finally, she makes a recommendation of someone to follow if you want to get involved in the wider PHP community or just want a good person to start with: Cal Evans.
