Hi, my name is Philip. I work as a software engineer at Caterpillar in Chicago. I enjoy crafting products with great attention to detail and delving deeply into user interface design, considering how it looks, feels, and behaves.

I hold a Computer Science degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and was an active participant in Hack4Impact, where I empowered non-profits through technology. Furthermore, I organized a TEDx event and played a key role in HackIllinois and the RP Tech Conference.
