👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Perone is a Software Urbanist with 11 years of experience who blends rigorous mathematical training (PhD-level studies in mathematics) with a pragmatic focus on clean, readable code and Domain-Driven Design. He began in PHP web development and has progressively embraced functional programming, contributing to projects like Roave/BetterReflection to improve PHP type handling while also working with Haskell, Idris, and PureScript. Marco has held roles from web developer to functional engineer at companies such as Tweag and LivTours, applying formal thinking to real-world systems and improving robustness through better type and reflection handling. He enjoys continuous learning—reading deeply and exploring new languages—and brings a researcher's curiosity to engineering problems. An understated strength is his ability to translate abstract algebraic thinking into practical software design, making complex systems easier to reason about and maintain.

Roave/BetterReflection
Mar 2017 - Jul 2017
:crystal_ball: Better Reflection is a reflection API that aims to improve and provide more features than PHP's built-in reflection API.
Role in this project:

Contributions summary:Marco primarily focused on improving the `Better Reflection` library's handling of return, property, and parameter types, especially when doc blocks are missing or incomplete. They addressed failures related to retrieving these types, adding tests to cover various scenarios, and ensuring that the library correctly identifies the absence of types when doc blocks are not present. Additionally, they updated the code to utilize static versions of test methods and included functions to get all functions available in the scope.
