Hey everyone,

My name is Phillip and I just got here.

Like a good millennial, I got my HTML start in the 2000s on myspace, geocities, and the like... I've held a variety of digital focused roles for political campaigns and nonprofits, over about 10 years in my very random career.

My current day job is about using the web to connect people with their leaders, around the world, to be advocates in the fight against extreme poverty. I do a bit of developer coordination, product and project management, front end coding... and administering (read: hacking the shit out of) campaign tools.

I'm always trying to up-skill - and always falling down new rabbit holes of curiosity... I'm currently focused on beefing up my JS skills, including learning new frameworks like VueJS... I've also had beginner-level experience with Python, and C, as well as a little bit of hacking away at PHP. Hobby projects have included rpi and arduino. And for bonus nerd points: I'm also a licensed Amateur (ham) Radio Operator.

Look forward to exploring this community, connecting, and learning. :)
