Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrédéric Potvin is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building and operating high-availability infrastructure for mission-critical systems, from eCommerce at Platform.sh to deploying blockchain protocols at Kiln. He combines deep technical skills in Kubernetes, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana, PHP and Go with incident leadership, postmortem discipline, and a track record of automating and hardening complex production environments. Beyond tooling, he brings a human-centered approach to reliability—trained in crisis response, long-distance trail running, daily meditation, and a personal journey through burnout that informs how he designs resilient systems and teams. Based in Beauvais, France, Frédéric is as comfortable troubleshooting proprietary orchestration and GPU clusters as he is mentoring engineers and writing clear runbooks. He treats uptime like a practice: measurable, trainable, and oriented toward long-term stewardship rather than short-term fixes.
