Philip I. Thomas
I'm building The Contraption Company, a product studio crafting tools that help people work online. There, I focus most of my time on Postcard - a tool in touch with a personal website + newsletter. I'm fascinated by how technology and the internet affect work and labor.
In the past, I founded Moonlight - an early remote work company helping software engineers, which was acquired and continues to operate. I also founded Staffjoy, a startup that built scheduling tools force for app-based workforces, which is now a popular open-source project. I studied Physics and Systems Engineering at WashU, and was a Y Combinator Fellow. I've worked with companies like Webflow (building their marketplace), Trusted Health (building Works), OpenDNS (building security for distributed workforces), and Dawn Health (as an advisor). I like to travel and explore urban culture through cafes and restaurants.
