Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Phillips is a multidisciplinary technology leader and director with over two decades of experience building usable web software, leading EU research projects, and translating complex maths into practical tools. With dual first-class degrees in maths and chemistry and a PhD in chemical physics, he combines deep analytical rigour with hands-on engineering—having coded since the mid-90s and shipped production Java and Python systems. He has coordinated multi-million-euro H2020 projects, led product and technical roadmaps (notably for automated cyber risk tooling), and championed DevOps practices and reproducible research. Beyond enterprise work he runs Morse Code World, blending his long-standing hobbyist expertise into a global training and tools platform, and balances this with community-focused roles such as foster caring and salsa teaching. Notably, he brings rare domain breadth: research-grade modelling and optimisation skills applied to pragmatic software, cybersecurity products, and digital media trials.
