Summary
Eric Gu is a software and infrastructure engineer who operates at the intersection of networking and cloud-native systems, with 11 years of experience building highly available, elastically scaling ecosystems. Skilled in Kubernetes, Docker, Istio, Traefik, Portworx, Go, Python, JavaScript, and IaC, he specializes in evolving brownfield environments and accelerating delivery through CI/CD, automation, and test-driven practices. A University of Waterloo alumnus who also studied at Lancaster and SUTD, he blends strong financial and analytical experience—now working in financial reporting at RBC—with deep technical craftsmanship. His GitHub identity as an "Infrastructure As Code Architect" reflects a focus on reproducible, automated platforms rather than single-language projects.
