Phillip is on the product team at Honeycomb where he works on a bunch of different developer tooling things. He's an OpenTelemetry maintainer -- chances are if you've read the docs to learn how to use OTel, you've read his words. He's also Honeycomb's (accidental) prompt engineering expert by virtue of building and shipping products that use LLMs. In a past life, he worked on developer tools at Microsoft, helping bring the first cross-platform version of .NET into the world and grow to 5 million active developers. When not doing computer stuff, you'll find Phillip in the mountains riding a snowboard or backpacking in the Cascades.
