The Unlimited Engineer

“Phil mentored me through Hack.Diversity from January to August 2025. He went above and beyond even when the mentorship program was technically over. He was meeting with me 3-5 days a month, helping me prep for interviews as a data scientist and software engineer. Thanks to his mentoring – and the confidence he instilled in me – I am thrilled to be working at IBM as a Software Developer. Thank you for the time and dedication.”

Since I have known Phil he has been nothing but supportive and encouraging in my growth as a young man in tech. There have been countless instances where Phil has provided words of wisdom, mentorship in new areas of interest, and sponsorship opportunities to ensure that my experience was a quality one at conferences such as Afrotech and BlackMen in Technology! As I prepare myself for life after college, I will always have a strong sense of gratitude for Phil for all he has done to help me prepare to pursue my dreams and live life fearlessly. I feel very confident not just through the experiences I have had in undergrad in my preparation for the very near future, but in all the people I have met along the way and Phil has been one of the most exceptionally generous and supportive people I have ever had the true honor to meet in this lifetime.
