Drupal 10 migration to 11, plus integrations with Salesforce, PowerBI, Bloomberg, FactSet and AlphaSense. AI integration with Renew. Core and custom module development, heavy integration with the underlying Symfony framework. Projects included front-end re-working (twice), plus refactoring the entire code-base to cater for a re-structuring of CE's product offerings. Also covered a PHP 8.1 to 8.4 migration. My role was hands-on Drupal developer on all these projects, continually working on custom modules every day, with Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, Tugboat, PHPCS, PHPStan, TwigCS, Claude, Copilot, Visual Studio Code, DDEV, MYSQL (MariaDB), JIRA and Slack and Teams. Production server environments covered Azure and AWS. Also worked briefly on Python and PostgreSQL projects, integrating with Drupal.

Company background
Capital Economics is an independent macroeconomic research consultancy, founded in London in 1999 by economist Roger Bootle. It has more than 60 economists covering over 100 economies, with offices in London, Toronto and Singapore. Clients subscribe for its research, data and forecasts, and it also provides economic scenarios for banks' stress testing and bespoke consultancy.
The firm has a strong forecasting reputation. It won the inaugural Wolfson Economics Prize in 2011, was named US Forecaster of the Year by the Wall Street Journal in 2010, and has repeatedly been the Sunday Times UK Forecaster of the Year. It deliberately has no investment banking, brokerage or trading arm, which underpins its independence.
