Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Bordelon is a retired Site Reliability Engineer with 18 years of experience running supercomputing and critical low-level systems, most notably at Google and Louisiana State University. He specializes in Linux/UNIX security, HPC administration, and reliable infrastructure operation, bringing a pragmatic, hands-on approach to complex systems. An ex-Googler and lifelong programmer, he pairs technical depth with a playful curiosity—whether solving puzzles, writing, or crafting with cardboard. Based in North Carolina, Phil has transitioned to self-directed work while keeping a pulse on interesting problems and community knowledge-sharing. His background reflects both operational rigor and a taste for collaborative, low-key office culture (he once famously combined engineering with board games at lunch). Despite retirement from paid roles, he remains engaged with technical challenges and creative pursuits.
