About

A quick snapshot of who I am and what I enjoy building.

Hi, I'm Phil Cartwright. I like designing and building small, sharp tools, shipping polished user experiences, and keeping systems lean, observable, and resilient.

Focus Areas:

  • Web engineering (frontend + lightweight backend)
  • Developer tooling & automation
  • Content publishing workflows
  • Simple, minimal interfaces with fast feedback

Values: clarity, mechanical sympathy, performance, and maintainability. I prefer boring tech used well over flashy stacks used poorly.

Stack here: vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with small progressive enhancements. Markdown to content pipeline, minimal PHP API, and a thin database layer.
