Senior🎓
Top SchoolGreg Miell is a seasoned software engineer and site reliability practitioner based in London with 14 years of experience building and hardening web applications and infrastructure. He blends backend Node.js and Python development with deep systems administration skills—databases (Postgres, MySQL, Mongo), server ops (Linux, Apache, Nginx), and config management—to deliver resilient production systems. At Facebook he improved core tooling, drove type-safety and performance work across HHVM and JS, and led incident response and release gating; more recently he worked on SRE at OVO. An active open-source contributor, he has improved Locomotive.js internals to better match Express conventions, and his hobbies (electronics, ARM, CAN and car-hacking) inform a practical, hardware-aware approach to software. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic systems integration where new technologies must interoperate with legacy platforms.

Further improvements included directory scanning for controller loading, along with options for resource creation as namespaces. The user also modified the application to use locals and adjusted the framework's handling of before/after filters to avoid wrapping methods that begin with an underscore.
