Hi, I’m Philip.

Software engineer

Projects

I write software. Most recently I was at AMD, working on platform engineering to make GPU server management more transparent. I’ve also worked on cybersecurity software, data processing, and a travel app.

I got my PhD in physics at Stony Brook and did a postdoc at Tel Aviv University. I also have a degree in art. Languages, art, and chess take up some of my time outside work.

Member Technical Staff, Software Engineering

AMD · Remote

I built usage dashboards and benchmark tools for AMD Accelerator Cloud. I also helped keep the platform running, investigated problems, and worked with other teams on integrations.

Senior Software Developer

Core Scientific · Remote

I worked on software for running AI and scientific computing workloads. Much of my work was on the analytics service, using the TICK stack to show workload metrics, check the data, and figure out performance problems.

Senior Software Developer

Ironscales · Tel Aviv

I worked on a cybersecurity platform, including access controls for partner companies and reports on employee training. Reworking the database queries cut some page load times by up to 90%.

Software Developer

Cortica / Corsight · Tel Aviv

I proposed and prototyped a replacement for the team’s research application, then helped build it with the team. We split it into services using REST APIs and Kafka. I also worked on deployment, performance testing, licensing, and documentation.

Senior Software Developer

HelloGbye · Tel Aviv

I worked on the backend of a travel app for booking flights and hotels using natural language. My work included recommendations, scheduling, and itinerary changes.

Education & research

Postdoctoral Fellowship

Tel Aviv University

I studied how electron transfer heats molecular systems, using mathematical models and simulations.

PhD, Physics

Stony Brook University

My research was in theoretical condensed matter physics. My thesis was “Competing order parameters in d-wave superconductors.”

BS, Physics · BFA, Art

Truman State University

General Honors and Honors in Physics.
