Hi, I'm Phil
I am a senior software engineer and the lead developer at six.agency
I have worked commercially since I moved to Bristol in 2011. For the past 4 years I have been working predominately in carbon-offsetting applications for B2B usage for blue-chip clients. For more information on these clients please visit the six.agency project showcase.
My day to day involves:
- Technical lead in sprints in a large react/node (typescript) build
- Transitioning legacy Node.js/react code to TypeScript
- Reviewing Checkmarx security scans (SAST+SCA)
- Brainstorming potential initiatives, and demonstrating their value to stakeholders (e.g. Rewriting legacy save/load system to use "Partial loading" for reduced latency)
- Improving developer workflow in CI/CD (e.g. moving Six to using AWS cloud formation w/ lambda rather than legacy EC2 servers)
- Telling developers to fix lint errors by using the power of LotR memes
