About

Philip Scheffer, here. I am a software engineer, front-end specialist, and sometimes wannabe hardware engineer.

In my professional career, ⁠I have helped build global content platforms, delivering shareable stickers and gifs to millions of people for use in conversations and even Venmo payments. I once made a headless CMS before those were really even a thing. I am currently building a couple games, one in Phaser3 for the web and one in Ionic with Capacitor for Android and iOS.

When I'm not feverishly knocking out code or trying to crush the living pixels out of PNGs, you'll probably find me working on some type of electronics project, playing drums or guitar, rock climbing, cooking a meal like I'm trying to win Top Chef, or wandering the great outdoors.

Want to know more of what I am up to? You can see what I'm eating on Instagram, view public projects on Github, end up in the purgatory of my LinkedIn inbox, or email me how terrible this site's UI is, all by visting just one more page. This one.
