I’m Simon, a web developer from Kent, in the south-east of England. I’ve been building things on the web for a long time, working across companies of vastly different sizes and solving the problems that come with each.
My primary language is PHP (8.x), which I use daily. Alongside this, I work with Vue, React, and Node, focused on maintaining, extending, and refactoring back-end business logic for an e-commerce application within a travel company, offering villa holidays in Orlando.
Like many languages, PHP tends to be used in conjunction with an MVC framework and I've used a good deal of these over the years, but at work I'm using Slim with a PHP DI container to keep projects as lightweight and flexible as possible.
For day-to-day development, I use Docker for working in a local environment, Postman for designing and validating the many APIs, and Git for managing versioned changes within the team, with repositories hosted on Bitbucket.
