PROFILE

Andrew Coulton

Andrew focused on stabilizing PHP tooling by addressing dependency and code quality issues in the ibexa/behat and PHP-CS-Fixer/PHP-CS-Fixer repositories. He updated Composer constraints to resolve install-time conflicts with behat and gherkin packages, ensuring compatibility across PHP 8.1 and newer versions. In PHP-CS-Fixer, Andrew improved the PhpdocOrderFixer by refining annotation handling logic to prevent duplicates and maintain order, adding targeted tests to validate edge cases and guard against regressions. His work demonstrated strong skills in PHP, Composer dependency management, and test-driven development, resulting in more reliable installations and enhanced maintainability for downstream projects and CI environments.
