Hi, I'm Philip Robinson aka Robinspi

My current career is as a software engineer. This career comes with one of the greatest skills I can imagine: being able to create things with nearly unbridled creative freedom. Combine this with the internet's innate ability to share with essentially the whole world, and I am graced with the ability to do what I am most excited to do: Share stories, information, and skills with the rest of the world.

Hard to beat that amount of freedom and creativity.

…But tech is not all sunshine and roses…

In my eyes, too much of "the tech sector" has become a bloated mess of solutions looking for problems, leaving people's actual problems unaddressed. Situations don't always need to be addressed with a connected experience. Not all devices need to be "smart". And most importantly, nothing is a good solutions if it come at the cost of accessibility or availability. This is not to say I'm leaning towards being a Luddite. I just hope that problems are aproached critically and the pursued solution is effective.

I am here to make a difference in people's lives.

Not all of my projects are computer-related; I like to get my hands dirty too

…And don't forget to try outside of the bubble!

I also firmly believe in understanding and creating in the world beyond my career. Touching the proverbial grass, if you will. If my understanding of the world grows, I am better able to address problems critically and think of helpful, pertainent solutions. And that's before mentioning the joy of learning and collecting knowledge of the mysterious world that we inhabit.
