Philip Aelion-Moss
Verified Expert in Engineering
Software Developer
Phil is a generalist who uses code to help people solve real-world problems efficiently. He developed an automatic processing pipeline that processed and started 10s of thousands of 3D prints without operator intervention. Working at Microsoft taught him best practices and honed his adaptability, communication, and pragmatism. That experience aided his success in a greatly expanded role at a startup where he owned business-critical projects across web development areas to robotics.
