Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominick Rivard is a founder and CTO with 14 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure, DevOps pipelines, and backend systems across Azure, AWS, GCP and private virtualization stacks. He blends hands-on Linux system administration, configuration management (Ansible, Puppet), and Python/Django development to deliver scalable REST APIs and managed IaaS platforms. He has led engineering teams and startups—founding Lyteflo and running EnlightNS—while architecting production systems for clients like Québecor and large multi-tenant CMS deployments. Comfortable from Kubernetes orchestration to KVM/VMware virtualization, he brings both product ownership and low-level systems expertise. Unusually for a CTO, he remains deeply involved in day-to-day automation and deployment work, often authoring the tooling that teams rely on. Based in Montreal, he holds advanced degrees in software engineering and consistently bridges research-grade rigor with practical, ship-it engineering.
