Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrançois Gouteroux is a Platform Engineer and Automation Consultant based in Paris with 11 years focused on automation and 16 years in IT overall. He builds secure, multi-tenant observability stacks and authors Terraform providers and Go-based tooling to streamline metrics, logging and deployment workflows for large payment and enterprise environments. A pragmatic polyglot, he ships production-grade modules and exporters in Go, Python and Ruby while contributing to high-profile open-source projects like Prometheus and Grafana. He combines hands-on engineering with a taste for developer ergonomics—preferring to automate repetitive work so teams avoid “starting the same thing twice.” Beyond day-to-day delivery he has led small teams, designed HA Puppet infrastructures, and created orchestration tools that expose self-service infra to internal customers. His GitHub footprint shows substantive refactors and feature work (e.g., terraform-provider-restapi and promtool enhancements) that improve flexibility and operational usability.
