Hi, I'm Philip.
I'm a software engineer at PAiCore Technology, where I work on telecom systems.
Outside work, I spend a lot of my time on open source and side projects. I care about building software that is impactful, inclusive and accessible, which led me to accessibility work in Django and, more recently, a backend that helps patients share their health records with childhood cancer researchers.
I also write about what I learn. If you'd like to work together or just talk, email me.
