Mark Phillip’s Summary
I currently run RUWT? Sports, a sports and TV mashup that sends alerts to sports fans whenever there's an exciting game on TV. At the core of the site is RUWTbot, our "game-watching robot" that uses algorithms to identify the next instant classic in the making.
I also work part-time as a Geek In Residence at T3, a full-service interactive agency in Austin, Texas.
I spent four years at Trilogy, an enterprise software consulting firm. Initially hired as an Integration Consultant, my best work was done after a promotion to Senior Prototype Architect, where I worked mostly on creating B2C solutions. A 4-month redesign project for Lexus.com increased online leads by 200%. A proof of concept for a new online shopping paradigm for consumer electronics prompted a former Executive VP at a $30B retailer to exclaim, “I now understand why our web site never worked."
I have worked on projects for a wide set of Fortune 500 companies including BestBuy, Boeing, Ford, Goodyear, HP, JC Penney, John Deere, Lands' End, Nissan, and Prudential.
