Phil Wade

Hi, my name is Phil Wade and I’ve been building things professionally on the web for twelve years. Right now I’m happiest on the front end with Elm or Javascript using React. However, I’m glad to work on the back end side of things. I’ve written server side code with PHP, .NET (C#), Node, Python and adapted to several MVC frameworks. I’m also comfortable writing CSS and with operations and deployment tasks. In my free time, I’ve been learning as much as I can about functional programming.

For some personal projects please look at my projects page and github: philwade.org/projects, github.com/philwade
