Philip’s greatest childhood loves were LEGO and earning money (by selling soda at baseball games) - two foundational traits of entrepreneurs everywhere. These early interests built Phil’s innate skill for translating business logic to developers and engineering logic to decision-makers. He loves to take a complex business problem and solve it with great code and design that builds solid value. Phil realized early on that he only loved making his clients successful if he was nice and did good work. That’s how Zaengle Corp’s mandate, “Be nice, do good" was born. It’s the heart of what has helped him create success for 70+ clients since 2009.

Jesse is our resident woodworker. This hobby dovetails (see what we did there?) perfectly into his developer skillset. Both are focused on having a vision for the potential, knowing how things fit together, and what tools to use to create the most seamless product. His signature is to find the deeper meaning in a project and the right tool for the job. In his woodshop, that means hand planes, chisels, and mallets; here at Zaengle Corp, he transitions smoothly between Laravel, PHP, ExpressionEngine, Statamic, and Craft. Whether it ends up on your screen or in your hand, Jesse is brilliant at working a concept into a product that is both beautiful and functional.

Derek was minding his own business, being awesome for his small business clients when a 2-week contract with an ad agency morphed into a 7 year gig as a Senior Interactive Art Director in the McCann-Erickson agency network, where he created experiences for American Airlines, Discover, Subaru, and other big-name companies. But making billion dollar companies richer started getting boring. So, he refocused on making people more successful through design, starting with a rewarding 5 year run as Creative Director at Marriage Today and bringing him to Zaengle Corp, where he looks forward to making you and your work look good. Really, really good.

Jacob is a ball of joyful energy. He distinguished himself early in his professional career with his ability to quickly learn and implement new technologies. That’s how he found a professional home in front-end development, became an expert in both ExpressionEngine and Craft, and spends countless hours playing with Javascript and CSS because “it’s fun!” The fast pace of front-end development feeds his love of continuous learning. Despite his super quick mind, Jacob is a compassionate listener who takes the time to thoroughly understand the situation at hand before acting. This has endeared him to Zaengle Corp clients who know that they can count on him to turn their requests into great software.
