I can start immediately!

I’m Phil, a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building high-impact web applications across frontend and backend. I’ve spent my career shipping fast, solving real problems, and turning ideas into real products.

I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and everything required to take a product from prototype → production → scale. I love working where engineering, UX, and product meet — designing features, running growth experiments, and delivering end-to-end systems that actually move the needle.

I see my self as a product engineer as I love to take a problem and go from 0 to production! I take ownership!

I’ve built and launched 10+ products, mostly solo — sharpening my skills across engineering, UX, distribution, and growth. I love creating tools that are useful, weird, or just fun to build. Some of my projects include:

• InterestingBars.com – Unique bars around the world • puzzlepostcards.shop – Send a puzzle postcard • ReclaimDesk.com – Modern lost & found management • UseStockStore.com – Simple inventory management app • DumpIt.app – AI-powered audio note-taking • ChronaGraph – Simple graph workflows for AI • TallyTabby.com – Minimal counting app • QRFeedback.app – Instant customer feedback via a QR code • ShiftingTicTacToe.com – Real-time twist on a classic game • DecodeBodyLanguage.com – AI nonverbal insights


Yeah good idea, its limited though to what i know, also interesting in the companies i dont know :)

But i can start with the companies i know and use i guess


In general, starting with the products you love to use, or looking at where your favorite people you've ever worked with currently work, is probably the best move.

In case helpful, I collected some startups I find interesting, see the startup lists section: https://chrisbarber.co/start-here/.

Though I think the ideal would be:

* What are the products you find most enjoyable to use?

* Of those, which ones do you have ideas for improvement based on your usage?

* Who are the best people you've ever worked with or collaborated with?

* Where do they work today?


Figure out things you are interested, do a bit of learning and reach out to companies in that area. Sounds like you may be early career.

Hackathons in areas you have an interest are great for connections as well.

Oh this is cool!


Update: I have gone with zoho mail


This sounds quite complicated, was hoping for a web client to easily switch between multiple domains


> was hoping for a web client to easily switch between multiple domains

That can be the end result if you go with a webmail client like Roundcube or SoGo, yes.

If you go with a managed provider, as mentioned, I think they should all have some options for that in their paid plans and you'd have to consult their docs on it.


For sure! Its just very much early stages so I need to figure out what people want. If you have a specific usecase or idea ill happily use that as the blueprint :)

little harder to spell I feel haha, also the .com domain costs way too much!


Okay, call it “pullingshitoutofmyass.com” instead

Judging people based on their “body language” is for manipulative people.


I get your concern, but honestly, we all read and respond to body language subconsciously—whether we realize it or not. It's just part of how humans communicate.


Interesting, i am just going to plug something I just built around this concept: https://skillriskaudit.com/

Would love for some feedback!
