Hey, I'm Phil

I enjoy building cool - and sometimes quirky - software products.

πŸ’Ύ About Me

Programming wise I started back in 1981 as a teenager in the early days of Home & Personal Computing using BASIC, and from there progressed to COBOL and using many variations of that. From there I became a Java Developer, and then moved into .NET using C#, VB.NET, classic ASP etc, I then moved into mobile development coding with Android and Apple Objective-C. Also worked with PHP using Laravel, Symfony, and Zend, and have used Python, Golang, and lots of JavaScript frameworks. I've basically done a bunch of stuff πŸ˜‰

I've been Programming for over 40 years now and have worked for some great Tech Companies as well as building micro-businesses which have generated over $2.5 million in sales.

I've worked in many sectors over the years for people such as: NHS, Department of Health, Pen Test Partners, Ryder Plc, Ministry of Defence, Wincanton, Marks and Spencer's (UK & China), Orange, Waitrose, Karstadt (Germany/Europe), Bass Pro Stores (USA), DSG International (Dixons, The Link), 3663, Unipart, Budgens, BWG Spa, Event Support Team Ltd, IAW Resources.

Outside of programming I'm a massive 🎸 music fan and have been hitting the live gig scene for over 30 years, seeing anything from Andy Williams to Napalm Death on the other end of the scale. I like a lot of different genres of music for sure!

I'm not a natural musician myself but like playing with Albelton and hope that something nice sounding will come out of it one day that's worth loading up to Soundcloud.

⚑ My Github

On my Github you will find lots of fun stuff. I do collect lots of old legacy code, especially vintage gaming software, and I'm also writing some games, both recreating some classic old-school games but also planning to write some new games. So check out my repos! All a bit of a work in progress so do ping me if you have any questions.
