Hello! I'm Philip, and I started developing for the web using Ruby on Rails at a startup in NYC in 2007. Fast-forward ten years and here I am in Portland where I lead all development at Syncta as our Sr. Engineering Manager. Syncta is a startup that was recently acquired by Watts Water Technologies.

It's a true startup environment, so I don't just use Ruby — I do everything: DB & server administration and deployment, cloud scaling and automation, security, and project management. My passion has always been to build great products with great technologies.
