Résumé/CV: https://philljanowski.com/PhillJanowskiResume.pdf
E mail: philajan <at> pm <dot> me
I'm Phill, a backend-leaning, full stack engineer with 9 years of experience building and operating enterprise SaaS.
I'm currently a Senior Site Reliability Engineer and am looking to get back to owning and building products. I have extensive experience planning and leading implementation of large scale features from cloud infrastructure to user interfaces.
What I've done:
- Cut permission-check latency 97% (~6s -> ~150ms) on an enterprise-wide authorization service backing every authenticated request across the company, by redesigning resolution over nested group inheritance
- Cut cross-datacenter configuration propagation time 92% between AWS legacy VM applications
- Built an AI production-review tool on Backstage (TypeScript/React/Express) over an in-house LLM service, surfacing production risk teams can triage in a short meeting
Outside of work I ship projects. Earlier this year I published BookBounce[0], an application I use to keep my son's bedtime stories in constant rotation. I'm currently working on Grain Of Salt[1], a recipe application with version control for iterating on recipes.
I'm looking for a full time position where I can contribute to impactful projects.
