Phillip Gourley

Built and deployed several startups, high-traffic white-label platforms and social media platforms to use Node.js using different variants and approaches and sizes. In addition I have build a number of private tools to aid development.

Have lovingly built, refactored and acted as architect for countless projects. From the the smallest and the largest over a 14 year period. CSS is my bread and butter.

Have built, refactored and acted as architect for a number of high profile brands and projects. Have less experience with frameworks than the language itself. Good awareness of patterns and best practices.

Have worked, designed, improved, refactored and revitalised over 100+ projects with a majority being for high traffic and high profile domains. Have developed for some of the largest retailers and brands where HTML acted as a daily requirement.

Have worked and specialised in optimising or designing architecture for performance of large eCommerce and social media projects. Have unique experience in developing for the web and mobile in the most difficult and unique countries in the world (China, Indonesia, India, Philippines), as-well as nth degree optimisation for existing average to high performance platforms.

While focusing namely on web rather than backend. I've acted as primary architect for several years for large engineering teams. I offer architectural designs and suggestions for scaling web applications, web performance, high traffic or unique environments. I favour development approaches that benefit the end user, that maintain pivotability and scalability without smothering innovation.
