About

I'm Phi, from New Haven, Connecticut. I like to build stuff.

In my spare time, I ship small applications born from the everyday friction I run into myself. I enjoy writing about how they're designed, how they're built, and challenges I faced along the way.

I aim to create apps that I'll use daily, and apps that are abstract rather than overly personal, so they can serve as a solution to other people too.

Let’s talk.
