Phillip Carter
Principal Product Manager
Phillip is a Product Manager by day, and OSS developer in the evenings. He’s been working on developer tools and experiences his entire career, building everything from compilers to high-level IDE tooling. Now, he’s working out how to give developers the best experience possible with observability tooling. When not at the computer, you can find Phillip on a mountain hiking or snowboarding, and increasingly in the water doing other board-related sport activities.
