Top SchoolPhillip Harrington is a pragmatic software engineer and leader with 20+ years of hands-on PHP and full-stack experience, specializing in Laravel, Symfony, MySQL and modern cloud deployments. He has led teams and technical direction—most recently as Lead Software Engineer at Abre and as a Development Manager at TalentNet—combining hands-on coding with mentoring and process improvements. Phillip has a strong track record of modernizing legacy systems into scalable APIs and containerized services, migrating infrastructure to AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront) and automating CI/CD pipelines. He built and maintained a long-running survey platform for nearly two decades, turning a PHP/MySQL prototype into a cost-efficient, production-ready SaaS product. Known for clean architecture and practical patterns (Repository/Service layers, DDD), he also coaches junior engineers and interns to raise team velocity and code quality. Based in Smithfield, NC, he’s currently open to senior full-stack or engineering lead roles where he can both ship code and grow others.
