Phillip Shim

Senior Frontend Engineer based in Dallas, TX. For the past 10 years I've been shipping at Amazon, Confluent, and Atlassian — most recently building Confluent's marketing platform: a multi-site monorepo with Contentful CMS, automated i18n across 6 locales, and CI/CD pipelines serving 50K+ monthly sessions.

At the end of the day I just love the craft — making things that look good and work well. I have a passion for design systems, performance, and JavaScript apps that hold up no matter the scale.

When I'm not pushing pixels, I'm hanging out with my kids and my wife Kenzie. Along the way I've also built openweathermap-ts — a TypeScript SDK with 1K+ weekly npm downloads — written 21 articles on dev.to (65K+ views), placed 1st at the Utah State Hackathon, and was a freeCodeCamp Top 100 Contributor.
