Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaximilien Richer is a Staff Production Engineer (SRE) based in Brussels with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale cloud and on-prem infrastructure. He designs telemetry backbones (Grafana, Elasticsearch, OpenTelemetry) and automates multi-cloud deployment lifecycles with Terraform and Ansible, complemented by custom tooling in Python and Go for Kubernetes platform management. His background spans secure, high-performance networking and PKI automation—work rooted in prior roles at ANSSI and hands-on Kubernetes/SRE engineering at Naitways. Fluent in both operational practice and observability, he pairs pragmatic automation with a security-minded approach, often “bothering people to add security” while shepherding containers into production. A cosmopolitan engineer educated at INSA Rennes and Keio University, he blends French and international perspectives with a taste for low-level networking and scalable telemetry.
