Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhil Clifford is an experienced Oracle DBA and Linux/Unix sysadmin with nine years of recent professional experience and a long NHS background managing databases and data warehouses. Now self-styled "Artist In Residence" and Technical Support Consultant in Sorbie, Scotland, he blends deep operational skills (Apex development, LAMP stack) with a practical, service-led approach to running reliable systems for healthcare organisations. A late-career MSc in Computing complements a first degree in music, and his GitHub persona reveals a tinkerer mindset—data scientist, musician, brewer and biker—that fuels creative, hands-on problem solving. Colleagues benefit from his calm operational leadership and a knack for turning complex technical requirements into maintainable, well-documented solutions.
