Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLouis Bouchard is a seasoned system software engineer with 11+ years focused on open source, virtualization and cloud infrastructure, currently developing hypervisor and image build pipelines at Scaleway. He combines deep Linux, QEMU/KVM and kernel expertise with practical experience in Python/C and packaging across Debian and RPM ecosystems to ship optimized, automatable compute platforms. His background spans hands-on L2/L3 support and sustaining engineering at Canonical through large-scale DevOps and run responsibilities at Scaleway, giving him rare insight into both customer escalations and long-term platform evolution. Louis routinely builds and maintains image build pipelines, ecosystem packages and internal deployment tooling, and has driven automation that reduces manual remediation across fleets. Based in Greater Paris, he blends decades-old roots in GNU/Linux advocacy with modern cloud-native engineering—an engineer comfortable moving from low-level kernel tweaks to high-level compute API and CI/CD work. An often-overlooked strength is his sustained focus on reproducible images and packaging, which keeps complex virtualized products maintainable and scalable.
