Testimonials
Feedback from colleagues, managers, and collaborators I've had the pleasure to work with
“Having worked with Philip at both Octopus Investments and at LendInvest I can only say good things about him. Philip has a fantastic understanding of what is required from him and the code he writes, both software engineering and machine learning is of an exceptionally high standard. He is hard working, committed and conscientious. Having Philip on our teams brought incredible business value.”
Debra Duggan
IT Data Manager at Capital Group | Ex-LendInvest
“I had the pleasure of working with Philip at Octopus, where he was a remote developer working from his home in Ghana. Philip is an extremely talented senior python developer, who is also well versed with database development, as well as devops tasks such as CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes management. He can plan and architect a full backend solution, and work independently to get it done. He also has experience as a lead developer, managing a number of other developers, including code reviews of pull requests. He is friendly, communicative and hard working. I couldn't recommend him more highly.”
