Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Chmalts is a software engineer and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building full‑stack JavaScript systems, distributed architectures, and AWS-driven CI/CD platforms. He has led teams of up to 18 engineers, scaled products and infrastructure at high-growth startups (Shef, Seam) and established company-wide practices at Chegg, including a federated GraphQL surface and a monorepo that cut lead time from weeks to a day. Philip pairs hands-on delivery—launching GraphQL microservices, performance tuning Postgres and caching to shave latency under 100ms—with people ops, creating rigorous hiring, career matrices, and performance systems that drove multiple promotions. He’s comfortable spanning frontend, backend, and infra, and has a non-obvious background in music production that informs his collaborative, product-focused approach to engineering.
