Hi, I'm Phil.
I make kind, fast software.
Builder · Photographer · Outdoor Explorer
I build apps that respect your time, tools that help you explore the outdoors, and software made to last. When I'm not writing code, you can find me hiking mountain trails in the Pacific Northwest or taking landscape photos in the wild.
