Senior🎓
Top SchoolPierre-yves Gillier is a Senior Solutions Architect with 11 years of cloud, DevOps and SRE experience, now helping customers at AWS from his base in Angers. He blends hands-on engineering—spanning PHP, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Docker and CI/CD—with pragmatic architecture that balances usability and FinOps. A natural challenger of assumptions, he routinely revisits design choices to simplify operations and reduce cost while keeping teams productive. His background includes leading cloud and SRE teams at Jellysmack and architecting public cloud practices at Claranet, plus earlier middleware and Java platform administration roles. An active contributor to open-source (notably backend improvements to the popular Bolt CMS), he brings both operational rigor and a theme-for-usability mindset to platform design.
