PROFILE

Andrew Coulton

Worked on stabilizing PHP dependencies and improving code quality across two public repositories. In ibexa/behat, addressed Composer dependency constraints to support newer versions of behat/behat and behat/gherkin, resolving install-time conflicts and ensuring compatibility with PHP 8.1 and above. In PHP-CS-Fixer/PHP-CS-Fixer, fixed a bug in PhpdocOrderFixer to prevent duplicate phpstan- and psalm- prefixed annotations, preserving their order and expanding test coverage for various annotation scenarios. Emphasized code refactoring, dependency management, and test-driven validation, resulting in more reliable CI processes and smoother upgrades for downstream projects using PHP and Composer-based tooling.
