Phill Morgan · Leeds, United Kingdom
A technical lead and senior developer, building software that just works.
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, multilingual CMS platforms. I work with founders, agencies, and product teams who need the work owned end to end: architecture, delivery, and the quiet fix at the far end of a long week.
∕∕ 001 · About
Eighteen years building and leading the work.
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 holds things up.
My preference is for small teams and specific problems. I like being the person you hand an ambiguous ticket to, who asks the right questions and ships a calm deployment at the end. Same goes for an ambiguous roadmap. I value correctness over cleverness, and a quiet PR over a loud one.
Comfortable running a small team through a rebuild, or being the solo pair of hands a founder trusts at 11pm.
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, Kubernetes, and containerised hosting.
