Etienne Coutaud is a founding engineer and cloud-native specialist with 11 years of experience building production-grade Kubernetes platforms, operators and automation for PaaS and AI applications. He has led teams and architected cloud infrastructure that abstracts resources via CRDs, runs Terraform and ArgoCD workflows inside Kubernetes, and migrates backends to graph databases. A frequent CNCF speaker and local organizer who grew a 500‑member meetup and presented at KubeCon, he blends technical leadership with community evangelism. His recent roles span founding engineering for AI context platforms and hands-on CTO work shipping mobile backends on GKE. Known for pragmatic infrastructure design, he often turns complex operational needs into declarative, GitOps-driven developer experiences. Based in Angers, France, he pairs applied cloud engineering with teaching and training experience in Kubernetes and observability.
