Hi, I'm Phil — the founder and lead developer at Fifth Stone Dev. With a background in both technology and mission-driven work, I bring a unique perspective to every project I build.
I've spent the last few years working with an enterprise level SaaS product, where I analyzed complex workflows, built internal tools that streamlined operations, and shaped processes within the software support team. That experience gave me invaluable insight into how businesses really work, what makes tools effective, and how to solve problems systematically. In 2020, I dove deeper into development — and I've been coding and building ever since.
Based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, I help businesses, nonprofits, and organizations turn their ideas into functional, beautiful digital solutions. Whether it's building a website from scratch, automating tedious processes, developing custom tools, or providing strategic consulting, I'm passionate about creating technology that serves a real purpose.
My approach is simple: listen carefully, plan thoroughly, and execute with precision. I believe in building relationships, not just websites — and I'm committed to delivering work that reflects your mission and values.
