In short

I’m delroth, or Pierre Bourdon. Originally from France, currently living in Zürich, Switzerland. I’m an open source developer, mainly contributing to NixOS these days. In the past, I was a core developer for the Dolphin Emulator, and I was the main infrastructure maintainer as well as treasurer for the project.

In my working life, I’ve worked for around 10 years as a Software Engineer at Google. I’ve spent around 3 years each specializing in site reliability, counter-abuse technologies, then infrastructure security. Along the way, I also became privacy reviewer for new infrastructure projects, as well as teacher/mentor for new C++ developers at the company.

I’m currently on a sabbatical leave, spending my free time learning more about the country I’ve lived in for 10 years, and finally learning the local language.
