Erick Bourgeois is a seasoned platform engineering leader based in Montreal who blends hands‑on systems engineering with strategic product ownership across cloud-native infrastructure. As Director at RBC Capital Markets he runs the Kubernetes Engineering team delivering air‑gapped, on‑prem Kubernetes clusters via GitOps (FluxCD) and a production observability and security stack—Prometheus/Thanos/Grafana/Alloy/Loki, Vault Agent and cert‑manager integrated with an internal CA—across 10+ clusters. Previously he led GitOps and platform modernization at Morgan Stanley and co-owned firm-scale cloud services that supported tens of thousands of applications and high-throughput REST/WebSocket APIs. Known for bridging vendor integrations with developer experience, he pairs deep operational expertise (Linux cgroups, Kafka) and multi-language tooling with a track record of shipping secure, auditable platform features at scale.
