Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Norman is a Senior Lecturer and seasoned full-stack developer with eight years of hands-on experience building reliable, high-performance web systems and APIs across Ruby/Rails, Java, Angular/React, and AWS serverless. He pairs practical product and business domain insight—shaped by roles leading large teams and architecting API programs at OCLC—with day-to-day engineering work including migration to GA4, Dockerization, and integrations with Microsoft Business Central and AWS SQS/RDS. Comfortable toggling between development, tech support, and strategic initiative work, he has led community-minded projects like OpenSidewalks and contributed to Covid-19 response efforts for Mid-Ohio Foodbank. As an educator at Ohio State, he brings real-world delivery practices (TDD/BDD, ATDD, DevOps, Scrum) into team project courses, helping students connect engineering fundamentals to operational value. Notably, he combines deep systems thinking and process improvement (DMAIC, API health scoring) with a pragmatic streak for fixing production issues directly.
