Phillip Jeffrey Hyett (born August 10, 1983) is an American software developer, technology entrepreneur, and a co-founder of GitHub, an Internet hosting service for software development and version control using Git, which he created with Tom Preston-Werner and Chris Wanstrath in 2008.[1]
In 2022 Hyett founded an auto racing team, AO Racing, an IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GT Daytona program, to compete in GT3 races.[2][3] He currently competes in IMSA's LMP2 class.
About
Hyett was born on August 10, 1983,[4] and grew up in Naperville, Illinois. He earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from North Central College. After graduation, Hyett moved to San Francisco. He was a senior software engineer at CNET Networks, and then a partner at Err Free, before co-founding GitHub in 2008.[5]
Following the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft in June 2018, Hyett's stake in the company had an estimated value of "close to $1 billion".[6]
Hyett is married, has a daughter, and lives in San Francisco.[7]
Racing career
In 2022, Hyett made his racing debut at the Watkins Glen circuit in the GT World Challenge America series, driving for Team Hardpoint alongside Gunnar Jeannette.[8] The duo subsequently partook in the final round of the Le Mans Cup prior to moving into the LMGTE Am class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.[9] Led by pro driver Ben Barnicoat, Hyett and Jeannette finished second on their first WEC outing at Bahrain.[10]
Having formed AO Racing in the autumn of 2022, the Hyett and Jeannette duo partnered with WEC outfit Team Project 1 to contest the full season in 2023. As well as that, Hyett took part in the GTD class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, driving together with Sebastian Priaulx.[11] The campaign did not prove fruitful, as the American missed out on any podiums in addition to suffering a crash in qualifying which made him miss the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps due to a back injury.[12][13]
The American experienced a turnaround during the winter, where he partnered Paul-Loup Chatin and Harry Tincknell in the LMP2 class of the Asian Le Mans Series.[14] After two top-five finishes at Sepang, Hyett scored the first pole position of his car at the Dubai Autodrome.[15] Though he and his Proton Competition teammates finished a lowly eighth in the teams' standings, Hyett had demonstrated improved pace in the leadup to a full-time switch to the category, as he and Chatin paired up for AO Racing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.[16]
