Back-end leaning full stack dev
Laravel by day at Fusions and mostly PHP by night as well, London born and now based in Cluj-Napoca.
With agents writing more and more of the code, I've ended up leaning hard on static analysis and tests as the guard rails, so most of my evenings go on other people's repos trying to make those tools a bit sharper. Some of it even gets merged.
- Static analysis and refactoring, in larastan, phpstan-src, rector-laravel, rector-phpunit and dead-code-detector
- Testing, in paratest and laravel-dom-assertions, which I've more or less moved into
- Laravel itself, in framework, boost and dusk
- Odds and ends, in Carbon and laravel-scalpel
