Leading with Both Hats On

Background

I'm George Philip, Principal Technologist at dualhat. With over fifteen years of technology leadership, I help organizations navigate digital transformation and software architecture with balance and purpose. By combining technical precision with strategic vision, I empower teams to deliver exceptional digital experiences while maintaining operational excellence.

I believe innovation happens at the intersection of structure and creativity. My focus is on guiding teams to build technology that solves real problems and drives lasting impact.

Experience

Over the last 25 years, I've worked across industries as varied as healthcare, fintech, oil and gas, and document discovery. In recent years, my focus has expanded to large-scale museum installations around the world—where technology meets storytelling and human experience.

I've led and built high-performing engineering teams that span cultures, languages, and time zones, fostering collaboration and craftsmanship across disciplines. My work has included partnerships with global organizations such as Microsoft and GE Healthcare, as well as startups, non-profits, and emerging ventures.

These experiences have shaped a broad perspective on how technology, culture, and people intersect—and how thoughtful leadership can bring balance to all three.

Education

I began in physics and found my way to computer science, earning a master's degree along the way. That blend of analytical rigor and technical craft still informs how I think, build, and lead.
