They unit-test, debug with Xdebug, profile queries, cache data, integrate services, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Git. They document, review and monitor production systems.

We dropped Smartbrain’s hire into a complex LAMP stack upgrade. He refactored legacy PHP 5 code to PHP 8, optimized MySQL queries, and set up PHPUnit overnight. Release velocity jumped 35% and my team could focus on new Canvas API features instead of firefighting technical debt.
