Our Technical Lead (Web), Phil has an honours degree in psychology, so we couldn’t resist delving into his journey to Cornerstone. 

It began in sales (good use of the degree there, Phil) and for many years he successfully sold business solutions for Virgin Media. 

Then, back in 2010, an epiphany occurred, and he switched to web development, drawing on a lifetime’s fascination with technical creativity. That led to several years of freelancing/contracting for award-winning agencies, Cornerstone included. 

Now we’ve convinced him to join the team permanently, he’s leading our web team to greater heights, refining the department’s processes and improving its overall efficiency, thus leveraging the best technical workflows to benefit Cornerstone’s commercial goals. 

WHY I DO IT

I love all things technical and lways have done. I grew up with Lego, then Meccano, built Airfix model planes and now I develop functional and high-end websites for clients. It pivots technical engineering with imagination.  

I love the idea of creating new things from nothing; developing something that has a real value from scratch. It’s about bringing something to life from an idea. I’m passionate about learning new technologies and for web in particular, there is always the opportunity for personal development, evolution and growth.
