Summary
Maxime Boisvert is a senior engineering leader and founder with a decade of experience building and scaling large-scale infrastructure and data platforms, most recently leading streaming, analytics, and search teams at Shopify. He grew from individual contributor to Senior Manager over nine years, creating the Streaming Platform org and driving Kafka, CDC (Debezium), and Kubernetes-based solutions that improved reliability, cost, and developer productivity across the company. Now exploring entrepreneurship in Montreal, he’s hands-on with product development, sourcing, and manufacturing for an early-stage physical products startup while applying platform thinking to hardware.
