Saúl Ibarra Corretgé started working in the VoIP industry over a decade ago. He has worked in many different areas and projects, from development and configuration to deployment.
In 2006, when OpenSER 1.0.0 (the project where OpenSIPS was forked from) was released, Saúl began to experiment with it. Several years later, he started using it heavily and contributing with code until he became an OpenSIPS core team member in 2010. His contributions to the project have been diverse but mainly focused on improving the presence part.
He also maintains several projects on GitHub (https://github.com/saghul) and you can contact him through his website (http://bettercallsaghul.com) or on Twitter (@saghul).
