Perl Developer Resume

SUMMARY:

A perl developer with 3 years’ experience, including exposure to Javascript, CSS, HTML and MySQL.
I am an advocate of modern perl, I like its ability to express complex relationships between objects using abstraction layers, I like this
Class as it wraps all the underlying logic in to a single object however this can also be a problematic for performance and debugging issues.
My personal project includes a point of sale system written in java using a MySQL backend and communication with a serial port connected device.
My experience of using test modules in perl is between advance and intermediate, having written tests for projects from scratch and maintaining a continuous integration (Jenkins) node.
My Test::More tests are usually grouped with Test::Deep as it allows for in depth data structure comparison. I have always felt that a solid test setup suite is essential as it allows for more through testing of packages.
My exposure to web frameworks is primarily through Catalyst. However I have worked in teams that focus on implementing their own frameworks mainly to support a legacy structure.
This does have advantages however it can lead to a lot of issues such as not being able to use certain modules.
My exposure to MySQL is outweighed against Elasticsearch.
I like the ability of elastic search to make complex geo spatial queries with speed however its requires a lot of resources to become stable and can become volatile at times with version upgrades in comparison to MySQL.
