That’s definitely not senior dev behaviour, was he also involved in defining the best practices? If so he should 100% be following them as an example to other devs, and if he has an issue with individual parts (which is fine) he should discuss with the team about changing them.
Aversion to tests is also a really concerning problem I would say. And you should not have to fix his code in PR, it’s his code!! I’m afraid I don’t have any answers for you but you are right to find this unusual!
I think it was quite a big deal to the slaves, even at the time.
