Phillip has been playing with computers since the Apple II was the hottest home computer available. He learned the fine art of C programming and Guru meditation on the Amiga.

C# and Python are his languages of choice. Smalltalk is his mentor for simplicity and beauty. C++ is to programming what drills are to visits to the dentist.

He worked for longer than he cares to remember as Lead Programmer and System Architect of the Objective document management system. (www.objective.com)

He has lived for 10 years in northern Mozambique, teaching in villages.

He has developed high volume trading software, low volume FX trading software, and is currently working for Atlassian on HipChat.
