ABOUT ME
PHP Expert & Software Architecht / 12 Years XP
PHP Expert & Software Architecht / 12 Years XP

I believe that being well informed and constantly aware is key in achieving engineering goals in a sustainable, and most efficient way. With well over a decade in software development, through active and continuous learning, I have made a career as Tech Lead. I have gained knowledge and experience in many widely used web technologies, both front-end and back-end, as well as with several different frameworks. Unsurprisingly, sharing that valuable knowledge is also my passion, as I teach PHP, JavaScript, and software architecture online and in person.

I am an advocate of compatibility and standardisation. By using effective methodologies and tried principles everywhere, I achieve a level of simplicity that brings incredible agility to my projects. I excel at creating architecturally sound, re-usable, and robust solutions that are all the while easy to maintain and improve - such as software products, or re-usable modules and libraries. In the Dhii org I, together with other contributors, create missing though much needed standards and compliant implementations applicable to PHP in general. The mission of the WP-OOP org is to address similar concerns in WordPress.

Ex-Lead developer at RebelCode. Tech Project Lead at Inpsyde. Founder of Dhii. Architect of EDD Bookings. Making the best, de-coupled, tested, SOLID, PSR-compliant libraries in PHP. FIG contibutor, and standards advocate. Author of many useful standards and compliant implementations. Code that I write is very modular and de-coupled, which makes it re-usable and testable. Check out my work. https://github.com/Dhii https://github.com/RebelCode/eddbk https://profile.codersrank.io/user/xedinunknown

Wrote many custom plugins for various companies. Lead the development of EDD Bookings from the ground up. Also ex-lead dev of WP RSS Aggregator - a well-known RSS/Atom import plugin with many commercial extensions. I am a certified Codeable expert https://codeable.io/developers/anton-ukhanev/ Using my architectural skills and WordPress experience, I am able to produce modules that are quite de-coupled from WordPress, or any other engine/CMS. They can then be packaged as a plugin, or baked into a theme; perhaps released as a stand-alone tool, or turned into a SaaS. I'm sure that with effort and experience, despite popular belief, it is possible to write very high quality code for WordPress - mostly by abstracting from it, and by applying industry standards and patterns.

With 10 years in software development, and a career as tech lead, I believe my greatest assets are my knowledge and experience. It also happens that sharing valuable experience is my passion. Information and awareness are key in achieving engineering goals in a sustainable way. I can help you choose a stack; find and vet professionals; coach and train engineers and product owners; teach valuable practices and patterns; point out pain points. I will use my knowledge to suggest the best tools for the job, and review the solutions to make sure they are maintainable and sustainable. I have confidence in my experience and proven methodologies, and I will empower your team by transferring that confidence to them.

I'm very comfortable with vanilla JS. I'm also familiar with Vue. Not extremely familiar with the build process. Trained a JS developer who had extensive Vue experience to adopt a more maintainable and correct approach to JS in general, and to Vue specifically. Architected a small UI framework for Vue that makes it possible to write components more quickly and architecturally correctly. In the past, wrote quite a bit of client-side code with vanilla JS, and jQuery using very strict OOP, innovative structured augmentation techniques - before this became mainstream.

As a software developer, I am a big fan of automation. In fact, I believe: everything that can be automated should be automated. Due to the nature of my work, the two tasks I've had to solve are automated builds, and deployment. I designed the core of the build process for EDD Bookings - a WordPress plugin made using Composer, featuring a dozen modules, and having quite a bit of client-side development + assets. The approach I engineered features a layered build system with a mostly uniform Phing build config. This ensures that each dependency knows how to build itself, but also that it may be possible to build desired parts of dependencies from the root project for shipping. Also, having been rather frustrated with the way we create WordPress sites, I combined various technologies in a single package. This resulted in an opinionated but powerful starter setup that allows for easy local development and DigitalOcean deployment of a version-controlled WordPress environment.

Anton was great, the goal of this session was code review of a small plugin, but since I´m looking for long term mentoring of someone that cares about the fundamentals we ended up setting up git first and Anton explained everything very clear. We are starting a long term mentorship partnership now!
