Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFlorentin Dubois is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, currently leading infrastructure and PaaS/FaaS development at Clever Cloud from Brittany, France. He blends hands-on Rust and Scala engineering with platform reliability duties—designing load balancing, DNS, IPAM and VPC automation—and has deep production experience with Pulsar, ZooKeeper, Flink, Hadoop/HBase and Warp 10. Previously a technical leader at OVHcloud, he ran teams delivering global streaming and observability platforms and helped launch ioStream and Kafka-on-Pulsar integrations. An active open-source maintainer (notably Sōzu reverse proxy and a Rust Pulsar client), he contributes security and TLS improvements that reflect a focus on reliable, maintainable infrastructure. He started as a full‑stack junior engineer and keeps a pragmatic, cross-stack perspective that helps bridge low-level systems work with product delivery.
