PS$2/min per minute(8)Architectural PerformancePhil Sturgeon • Somewhere in EuropeCreated 7 years ago in Technology / Software DevelopmentServices and microservices most often suffer bottlenecks through architectural design making them go over the wire incorrectly, or too often. Utilizing HTTP client caching, HTTP/1.1 tweaking, utilizing HTTP/2 and async logic, timeouts, circuit breakers, etc. we can stabalize your applications.Phil Sturgeon Somewhere in Europe(8)

Loved talking to Phil!
Source: Clarity Alejandro Pinzon Nov 23, 2021Thanks for answering my Facebook API questions
Source: Clarity Levi Andersen Feb 28, 2019Great depth of knowledge regarding REST APIs. Provided actionable insights as to best practices and the underpinning reasoning behind those best practices. Covered lots of ground in a very short period of time.
Source: Clarity Ramon Vorne Jan 3, 2019Phil is professional and courteous. No need for small talk, gets down to business and is ready to make big things happen.
Source: Clarity Wayne Walls Oct 31, 2017Phil's advice was exactly what I needed to receive. Really knows his stuff. Wouldn't hesitate to have another session with him if I had more questions.
Source: Clarity Michael Norwood Feb 2, 2016I have known and worked with Phil for a number of years and he is a fantastic developer and friend. He excels at everything from software architecture to sales, testing, and deployment. As the founder of PyroCMS he has lead the community and channeled everyone's energy into a successful codebase that is now used around the world. He would be a skilled and energetic asset to any development team.
Source: LinkedIn Jerel Unruh Mar 13, 2014Phil is an exceptional person as both a developer and leader in the digital industry. I pride myself on the high expectations of quality I have for any product I work on. Phil is one of the few developers I have known that exceed my expectations and does so on a daily basis. If you want to be the best, then work with the best. Phil is one of the best.
Source: LinkedIn Joshua Pekera Mar 13, 2014Phil has developed a number of very large and complex systems for us and all were exceptional. He brought new ideas and approaches to the table, worked very hard at all times and despite us all being involved in some very complex development headaches we all managed to have a good laugh and enjoy the process.
Phil's enthusiasm and energy are impressive, he is constantly pushing himself, learning new technologies and finding more efficient ways of absorbing alcohol into his system (only joking :-)
I would have no hesitation in recommending phil.
