PROFILE

James Morrison

Worked on the woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads repository, focusing on backend stability and continuous integration improvements over a two-month period. Addressed a critical namespace misalignment in the Options module by correcting the ServiceBasedMerchantState declaration, which improved autoloading reliability and reduced runtime errors in merchant state handling. Enhanced the CI workflow by replacing a hardcoded WooCommerce version with dynamic version retrieval using GitHub Actions and YAML, ensuring tests run against current releases and reducing flaky results. Demonstrated strong skills in PHP, DevOps, and CI/CD practices, prioritizing maintainability, code quality, and future-proofing the development pipeline without introducing new features during this period.
