Philip Burton

Senior / Lead Software Engineer

People are central to my approach: users, clients, and colleagues; I strive to bring value as a mentor, collaborator and problem-solver. My passion lies in software architecture, open-source advocacy, and building solutions that truly serve their users.

With over 15 years of software development experience, I have acquired a deep understanding of programming and product delivery and thrive in large-scale, cross-functional projects. I’ve expanded my knowledge to team-building, product development and systems architecture through collaboration and independent learning.
