Top SchoolPhill Tew is a multidisciplinary Programmer Artist and senior software engineer with over 15 years of experience blending creative direction and technical leadership across AR/VR, .NET, and web platforms. As a co-founder and former CTO of Interactive Scientific he architected a cloud-backed molecular simulation platform and shipped Unity-based VR experiences, while also building production ASP.NET Core and Angular delivery systems. He has led and ported immersive, narrative-driven projects—such as the Emmy-recognized Goliath and the BFI-featured Ghosts Of Solid Air—demonstrating an unusual ability to preserve artistic intent while refactoring complex codebases for OpenXR and mobile AR.
