With over 24 years of experience in the IT industry, I am a seasoned Computer Programmer and Web Developer with a passion for clean code and problem-solving. I started my journey in 2000, mastering PHP and SQL to build bespoke database-driven applications.
Recently, I have pivoted deeply into Artificial Intelligence, utilizing tools like Amazon Q, OpenAI, and n8n to build "Agentic" AI tools and automation workflows. Whether it's maintaining complex legacy CMS platforms or "vibe coding" the next generation of AI apps, I love building things that work.
- 🔭 Currently working on: AI Automation at HappyMonkey.ai, bespoke automation tools, and part time code a game in beta at https://mrpg.stephenphillips.co.uk made using Node JS, and React.
- 🌱 Currently learning: How to use Google Antigravity IDE, Google Jules, setting up MCP servers, and playing with vision agentic LLM models.
- 👯 Looking to collaborate on: Open Source PHP projects and AI integration workflows.
- ⚡ Fun fact: I also make electronic music, play electric guitar, and enjoy homebrewing!
Specializing in Local LLM Implementation, Agentic Workflows, and Game Logic.
I build bridge-systems that connect traditional software architecture with modern Artificial Intelligence. Beyond my public contributions, I have extensive experience building private, production-ready AI agents and automated trading systems using Python, PyTorch, and local-first LLM orchestration (OpenAI API, Openrouter.ai, and Ollama).
- Leveraging Agentic AI to create innovative intelligent smart business automation solutions.
A specialized framework for orchestrating complex AI agent behaviors.
- Focus: Standardizing prompt structures to ensure high-fidelity reasoning and task execution in multi-agent environments.
An intelligent routing tool for Large Language Model queries.
- Focus: Optimizing model usage by dynamically redirecting prompts to the most efficient endpoint based on context or complexity.
A robust automation suite designed for streamlined API interaction and testing.
- Focus: Reducing manual overhead by creating automated workflows that handle authentication, request cycling, and response validation.
A structured data definition project for maintaining consistency across development environments.
- Focus: Utilizing JSON Schema to enforce data integrity and provide clear documentation for complex project configurations.
Two core passion projects involving Audio Integration and Multi-user Role Playing Game logic, showcasing experience in stateful, real-time application design.
A clean, reactive task management application.
- Focus: Demonstrating frontend proficiency with Vue.js, focusing on state management, component architecture, and fluid UX.
While much of my work in AI Automation and Quantitative Trading remains in private production environments, my core competencies include:
- Local AI Orchestration: Building private-first RAG and Agentic systems using Ollama, LangGraph, and Qwen/Llama models.
- Data Intelligence: Large-scale data processing and post-inference reporting using Pandas and multimodal LLMs.
- Logic Systems: Designing complex backend architectures, from game engines to trading execution logic.
- AI & Data: Python (PyTorch, Pandas, Scikit-learn), Ollama, HuggingFace.
- Languages: PHP (Laravel), JavaScript (Vue), CSS/HTML.
- Tools: Git, Docker, MySQL, SQLite, REST APIs.
