Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulien Phalip is a Staff Solutions Architect at Google with 18 years of experience designing cloud-first, data-driven systems and leading large migrations to Google Cloud. He combines a PhD in Computer Science and an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction to bridge rigorous distributed-systems engineering with pragmatic UX and interaction design. At Google he built open-source tooling (notably the Hive-BigQuery connector and GCP Token Broker) and applied multimodal ML and vector search to real-world analytics and asset monitoring problems. Previously he founded and grew a Django/Python agency, led high-traffic platform engineering and CI/CD practices, and contributed meaningful back- and front-end fixes to well-known projects like Django and FeinCMS. Julien is as comfortable authoring production-grade infrastructure code (Terraform provider contributions) as he is improving developer-facing UX, and he actively evangelizes best practices through documentation, labs, and talks. Based in San Francisco, he blends research rigor with hands-on engineering to deliver resilient, secure, and user-centered cloud solutions.
