Back End PHP and Javascript Developer London £425/Day Years of Experience: 15+ Latest Contract: Senior Developer, Communications Agency Back End PHP and JavaScript Developer London £425/day Years of experience: 15+ Latest contract: Senior Developer, Communications Agency I have been working on web applications since 2000, and have been using PHP and MySQL continuously since 2004. I am expert in object-oriented programming, and have built my own system architectures and Frameworks. I have also worked extensively with packaged frameworks including Symfony 2, Zend Framework 1 and CodeIgniter. I am SC cleared for Government work as oF April 2015. Main Skills (expert): PHP, LAMP, SymFony 2, Behat, PHPUnit, PHPSpec, Zend, CodeIgniter, MySql, Apache, Subversion, Git, Javascript, Jquery, Ajax, HTML, CSS, Ruby, HAML, Cucumber Secondary skills (experience limited or some years ago): Rails, Sinatra, Wordpress, Concrete 5, Python, Perl, Java, Linux Administration, Nginx, Moodle, AngularJS Contracts History August 2015 – Present Senior Web developer Comunications Agency I worked on a corporate course administration system based on Moodle. I developed new plugins For administering users, wrote new code For importing users and generated management inFormation reports. I wrote unit tested code whenever practical. PHP5, Moodle, PhpUnit, MySQL, Solr May 2003 – present System Architect/Applications Developer Government Body An interactive site developed by a journalist and a sociologist, which promotes a model of political typology. I took over as programmer of the site in 2003, and entirely re-wrote it in object-oriented PHP (it was originally in Perl). I improved the framework to make it maintainable and more eFFicient. I developed a new product in Flash (a certiFicate which users can order online, pay For by credit card and load in the browser). I produced new graphics using Fireworks, and improved the interactive graphics using GD. At the beginning of 2015 I re-engineered the entire site using Ruby/Sinatra, with a Full suite oF Cucumber tests and served on Nginx. I replaced the original Flash certificate product with a generated pdf available for the user to download. PHP5, GD, Facebook, MySQL, seo, google adsense, amazon associates, Ruby, Rspec, Cucumber, Sinatra, Nginx, ImageMagick, prawn February – June 2015 Web developer Government Body I worked on two projects here. One was an alpha For a new system For administering detention centres. It consisted oF a web dashboard and an API endpoint For updating the data. Updates were displayed live in the dashboard without the need to reFresh the page (using websockets). The server was built in NodeJs with Jade templating and tested with Mocha and Behat. The other was the Registered Traveller programme. This is a public Facing website and a caseworking system For internal use. Technologies included Scala, Mongodb and Cucumber. I was involved in writing automated tests For the public Facing pages using Cucumber/Capybara/Selenium, and in extending the unit tests using Scalatest. NodeJs, Jade, Mocha, SocketsIo, Scala, Play Framework, Cucumber, Selenium, Capybara, Ruby, Behat, Mongodb, Docker, Jenkins July - December 2014 PHP developer Social Networking Site Social-networking startup themed around sport. I worked on a number oF bugFixes and new features including integrating proFile inFormation from Twitter, generating Opengraph data For Facebook sharing, and designing and testing API endpoints using Behat. During my time at the company, we applied many database optimisations, and simpliFied and de-coupled a large but conFused codebase. We extended the test coverage From almost nothing to a Full testing suite for the back end. All new code had to be properly covered by Functional tests, so writing Feature Files to add to the regression tests was fully integrated into the development process.

I worked in a small team developing a new web service (“Welcome Centre”) to support websites and apps for new company subscribers. We built a Fully unit-tested architecture For consuming customers existing web services and exposing a single interFace For the various Front ends to consume. We built the system on SymFony 2 and used Behat and PHPSpec to reFine the tech spec and test the code. All code was Fully unit-tested and functionally tested using Behat. Writing Behat tests was considered the developer’s responsibility, and commits which were not properly covered by tests were not allowed past code review.

  • Prioritizing Pull Requests
    Prioritizing pull requests Version of June 17, 2015 Erik van der Veen Prioritizing pull requests THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in COMPUTER SCIENCE by Erik van der Veen born in Voorburg, the Netherlands Software Engineering Research Group Q42 Department of Software Technology Waldorpstraat 17F Faculty EEMCS, Delft University of Technology 2521 CA Delft, the Netherlands The Hague, the Netherlands www.ewi.tudelft.nl www.q42.com c 2014 Erik van der Veen. Cover picture: Finding the pull request that needs the most attention. Prioritizing pull requests Author: Erik van der Veen Student id: 1509381 Email: [email protected] Abstract Previous work showed that in the pull-based development model integrators face challenges with regard to prioritizing work in the face of multiple concurrent pull requests. We identified the manual prioritization heuristics applied by integrators and ex- tracted features from these heuristics. The features are used to train a machine learning model, which is capable of predicting a pull request’s importance. The importance is then used to create a prioritized order of the pull requests. Our main contribution is the design and initial implementation of a prototype service, called PRioritizer, which automatically prioritizes pull requests. The service works like a priority inbox for pull requests, recommending the top pull requests the project owner should focus on. It keeps the pull request list up-to-date when pull requests are merged or closed. In addition, the service provides functionality that GitHub is currently lacking. We implemented pairwise pull request conflict detection and several new filter and sorting options e.g.

Likes digging into legacy code. [AMT] 2 Alexander M. Turek Disclaimer This session is not about bashing the developers of the libraries shown in the examples. I have a lot of respect for open source developers who spend a large part of their free time on improving and maintaining those awesome libraries. [AMT] 3 Alexander M. Turek Framework Migration • Your framework evolves while you're using it. • Follow the upstream development or lose support. • Outdated dependencies might block upgrade paths of other dependencies. [AMT] 4 Alexander M. Turek PHP / Composer Limitations • PHP has no concept of loading different versions of a library at the same time. • Composer does not allow to install multiple versions of the same package at the same time. [AMT] 5 Alexander M. Turek How do you refactor code? [AMT] 6 Alexander M. Turek My Recent Painfl Migrations • Guzzle 3 —> Guzzle 6 • Silex 1 —> Silex 2 • Behat 2 —> Behat 3 [AMT] 7 Alexander M. Turek Guzzle • HTTP client library. • Guzzle 4 was a complete rewrite. • All code that used the same guzzle client instance had to be migrated at once. • Good: Guzzle switched namespace/package name. • Bad: Guzzle 3 blocks Symfony upgrades. [AMT] 8 Alexander M. Turek Silex • Symfony-based micro framework. • Tightly coupled to the Pimple DIC. • Silex 1 blocks Symfony upgrades. • All-or-nothing migration. [AMT] 9 Alexander M.

Behat and Mink allow you to describe the behavior of a web site in plain, but stylized language, and then turn that description into an automated test that will visit the site and perform each step you describe. Such functional tests can help site builders ensure that the added value they’ve created when building a Drupal site continues to behave as expected after any sort of site change – security updates, new module versions, changes to custom code, etc. 1.2 What does the Drupal Extension add? The Drupal Extension to Behat and Mink assists in the performance of these common Drupal testing tasks: • Set up test data with Drush or the Drupal API • Define theme regions and test data appears within them • Clear the cache, log out, and other useful steps • Detect and discover steps provided by contributed modules and themes 3 the Drupal Extension to Behat and Mink Documentation, Release 1.1 4 Chapter 1.
