Sean Phillips
Full-Stack Developer
I've been doing web development for 10 years now, primarily in NYC for a digital agency and a couple startups, and have been living in Berlin for 4 years now working as the head of engineering at CareerFoundry. I left that company last summer to try freelancing and give myself some extra flexibility with regards to work/life balance. My experience is primarily in Rails, PHP, and JS, with Rails being my strong point. I've also done dev ops on AWS, Heroku, Apache servers. My JS experience has primarily been with jQuery but was using React in production last year at CareerFoundry and have been doing some side projects and practice apps to hone my skills in that area in the meantime.
