Philippe Serhal

I make computers solve problems.

I like to build things. I like to fix things. I really like to solve problems.

I love to deeply, truly understand things.

I currently work as a Staff Engineer on the team responsible for the build & deploy system at Netlify, where millions of sites are developed, built, and deployed—with dozens of different tech stacks.
