About Us
Our mission is to provide everything humanity needs to thrive on Mars - while showcasing the capabilities of modern web technologies through a fully functional e-commerce back-end.
Duckbongo.com isn’t intended as a commercial product, but as a demonstration of what modern PHP can accomplish. PHP has matured into a robust, type-safe, and high-performance language, offering a reliable alternative in a landscape increasingly dependent on JavaScript frameworks - frameworks whose constant evolution can drive up development costs, increase project risk, and demand ongoing investment in training and refactoring.
With over 20 years of experience in e-commerce, the creator of this project demonstrates deep expertise in development, database design, and full-stack solutions. It reflects a career dedicated to working with customers, stakeholders, and development teams of all sizes - providing leadership, mentoring, and helping businesses scale from startups to large, successful enterprises.
