Phil Sherman is a Senior Software Engineer with over nine years at Microsoft and a multi-decade background building embedded, desktop, and device provisioning systems. He specializes in Windows OS and firmware-level solutions for Surface devices, running end-to-end provisioning and deployment pipelines that support manufacturing production lines. Earlier roles include architecting secure, PCI-hardened kiosk platforms and payment integrations at Coinstar (Outerwall), plus embedded imaging and audio work at PictureIQ and Adobe, reflecting deep cross-platform C/C++ and C# expertise. Phil combines hands-on development, test automation, and systems design with experience leading pilots and product variants that scaled to thousands of devices, and he is based in Bellevue, Washington. A less obvious strength is his track record of bridging firmware, OS, and cloud-backend concerns to deliver field-hardened, high-availability device ecosystems.
