Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Coltrane is a Staff Software Developer in Raleigh with 13 years of professional experience building desktop and industrial software for defense, manufacturing, and hardware-integrated metrology. He combines deep Windows UI expertise (C#, WPF, Caliburn.Micro, VB.NET) with hands-on systems work—C++ plugin troubleshooting, PLC and robot programming, PCB prototyping, and networked device integrations. At ARA he pairs individual contributor work with Scrum Master duties, coaching C++ developers into C#/MVVM and facilitating cross-team delivery for mission-critical systems. His background in both electrical and computer engineering informs pragmatic design choices that bridge firmware, hardware, and application layers, and he has repeatedly delivered process improvements and automation that cut production and setup time. Quietly, he’s comfortable owning full lifecycle projects from prototyping to operator-facing UIs and acceptance testing in regulated industrial environments.
