Merlin Gaillard is a pragmatic DevOps-focused engineer with 11 years of experience building and automating scalable infrastructure across startups and large enterprises. Comfortable leading migrations and cost-saving initiatives, he saved roughly $300k at SAP Concur by modernizing Puppet workflows and designing on-demand QA environments with Terraform and Go. He’s versed in Kubernetes, Argo CD/Workflows, Terraform, Grafana/Cortex/Loki/Tempo and day-to-day Golang, Python and Bash work, and has a track record of enabling teams (~30 teams, ~10,000 servers) to adopt Infrastructure as Code. Now based in Gdynia and playfully titled “Warlord” at a 3D-printing startup, he blends hands-on tooling with a mantra to “automate the heck out of everything,” often turning operational pain points into reusable platforms. An unspoken strength is his ability to translate complex operational needs into lightweight developer-facing APIs and tooling that remove shared, always-on bottlenecks.
