Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Gageot is a Principal Software Engineer based in Paris with 15 years of professional experience and over 30 years of hands-on software craftsmanship. He blends deep back-end and DevOps expertise—improving CI/CD, container tooling, and build systems—with product-focused engineering, having influenced Docker, Google Cloud developer tools, and Cloud Native Buildpacks. As a former Chief Architect at Doctolib and staff engineer at Google, he specializes in scaling platforms, reliability engineering, and developer experience for cloud-native workflows. An active open-source contributor, he has fixed build reliability, CI pipelines, and UX issues across prominent projects like Docker, LinuxKit, SonarQube and GoogleCloudPlatform samples. Notably, his work has tangibly reduced install and build failures at scale (e.g., dramatically improving Docker Machine reliability) and he enjoys recursive container experiments—“Docker in Docker in Docker”—that reflect his playful but pragmatic approach to systems.
