Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Richards is a web developer with 11 years of experience who transitioned from a Master of Information Studies and a career in librarianship to front-end development after completing an intensive HackerYou bootcamp. He builds and maintains client sites and web applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript (including jQuery, Angular, React), PHP/Zend, and modern build tools like Grunt and Gulp, while contributing to workflows through Git. Phil brings a librarian’s attention to information architecture and accessibility—he’s done accessibility testing with screen readers and helped standardize digital asset cataloguing—so his work emphasizes clear, usable interfaces. Based in Old Toronto, he thrives in small-team environments where he can both teach and learn from peers, bridging user-focused research and practical front-end engineering.
