Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Dufault is an Engineering Manager based in Vancouver with 14 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native platforms, SRE practices, and developer experience tooling. He leads Cloud Infrastructure and Platform teams at Fuel iX/TELUS Digital, driving large migrations (OpenShift to GKE) and CI/CD modernization that saved the business millions. Phil combines systems, network and database administration roots with strong automation instincts—he jokes about “replacing himself with a script” but actually delivers it through Terraform, Ansible and centralized GitHub Actions workflows. He has scaled reference architectures to hundreds of apps and hundreds of developers while maintaining high uptime and rapid MTTR, and authored internal tools like Shippy that eased onboarding and secret management. Known for turning observability, cost optimization, and developer productivity into measurable business outcomes, he also brings practical experience across languages and infra from early SAN tuning to Kubernetes at scale. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic people-focused leader who still dives into code and tooling to unblock teams.
