Phill Morgan · Independent developer · United Kingdom
An independent full‑stack developer shipping web and mobile software that quietly refuses to break.
For eighteen years I've built and shipped the kind of software people rely on every day: encrypted messaging platforms, health‑data exports, realtime monitoring tools, commerce engines. I work with founders, agencies, and product teams who need senior judgement, not just another pair of hands.
∕∕ 001 · About
Eighteen years of web and mobile software.
I build software that people use at 2am in the warehouse and never think about. That is the compliment I am most proud of.
For eighteen years I have worked across the stack: on the HTTP handlers that hold a commerce engine together at 4× normal load, on the mobile app that reads a hundred HealthKit data types without sending anything off‑device, on the Craft CMS integrations that quietly replace six years of bespoke scripts. The work is rarely glamorous. It is load bearing.
My preference is for small teams and specific problems. I like being the person you can hand an ambiguous ticket to, trust to ask the right questions, and expect a calm deployment from at the end. I value correctness over cleverness, and a quiet PR over a loud one.
Based in the United Kingdom. Most at home in TypeScript, PHP and Swift, with frequent trips through Laravel, Craft CMS, Astro, React, and React Native / Expo. Happy on the platform side too: Cloudflare, AWS, containerised hosting on bilbo.
