Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean-philippe Evrard is a pragmatic technology leader and engineer with a decade of experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms, currently leading container teams managing hundreds of Kubernetes nodes for a top-10 global bank. He blends hands-on systems engineering (OpenStack, Kubernetes, virtualization, storage, backups, CI/CD and SRE) with product and architecture leadership, having served as CTO and incubation architect at cloud and open-source vendors. A proven change agent, he refactors teams and delivery practices—introducing automation, breaking silos, and aligning agile ways of working with ITIL-quality controls. An active open-source maintainer and contributor, he has improved testing and build infrastructure for notable projects like kured and OpenStack-Ansible, bringing rigorous CI and release discipline. Comfortable from low-level ops to executive roadmaps, he focuses on practical, auditable solutions rather than buzzwords and prioritizes enabling people and businesses to meet their goals. His background in geology-turned-engineering hints at a methodical, research-driven approach to problem solving and platform design.
