Summary
Ben Lindstrom is a seasoned infrastructure-focused admin/developer with 25 years of experience building and managing Linux and mixed OS environments, currently shaping DST infrastructure at Hewlett Packard Enterprise with an infrastructure-as-code approach. His background spans secure C work on OpenSSH, Perl and PHP application development for courts and travel systems, and large-scale systems management with cfengine/SaltStack and Docker at Cray. He pairs hands-on sysadmin chops—VM services, CI tooling, and internal wikis—with practical software skills for reporting and data processing, enabling reliable, auditable operations. Based in Saint Paul, MN, Ben has a long track record of improving processes (notably jury management and data entry workflows) and rebuilding infrastructure to favor repeatability and security. An unassuming constant in his roles is turning operational pain points into automated, maintainable solutions that scale across teams.
