[Dave](https://www.daveliddament.co.uk) is a director and developer at [Lamp Bristol](https://www.lampbristol.com), a software consultancy.
He's been writing software commercially for over two decades in many languages including C, Python, Java and PHP.
Dave specialises in static analysis, automated testing and code review — helping teams keep large, long-lived codebases safe to change.

Dave is keen to pass on his knowledge. He speaks at conferences and user groups and also is the organiser of [PHP-SW](https://phpsw.uk/).

He is also the author of a couple of libraries:

- [SARB (static analysis results baseliner)](https://www.daveliddament.co.uk/open-source/sarb)
- [PHP Language Extensions Library](https://www.daveliddament.co.uk/open-source/php-language-extensions)

When not busy coding Dave enjoys scuba diving and running.
