Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolErick Bourgeois is a platform engineering leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling container infrastructure for global financial institutions, currently leading Kubernetes Platform Engineering at RBC Capital Markets. He manages multi-cloud, air-gapped Kubernetes deployments and a team delivering 50+ clusters with GitOps-driven automation, observability, and security integrations that accelerate application adoption. Previously at Morgan Stanley he helped create on-prem container orchestration long before Kubernetes became mainstream, operating platforms that served tens of thousands of applications and scaled to massive server footprints. Erick combines hands-on systems engineering (Python, C, low-level Linux work) with product and budget ownership, proving he can move both code and business metrics. A frequent conference speaker and open-source contributor, he also builds niche tooling such as a Rust-based Kubernetes controller for DNS, reflecting a preference for pragmatic, high-performance solutions. Based in Montreal, he thrives at the intersection of cloud-native innovation and the strict compliance needs of regulated industries.
