Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPierrick Gicquelais is a Platform Engineer and Lead for Infrastructure & Platform with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native systems from OVHcloud to fast-growing startups. He combines hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, Go, Python and infrastructure automation with a proven track record of leading feature design and migrating legacy stacks to microservices at scale. At OVHcloud he drove Managed Kubernetes initiatives (node pools, networking, runtimes) and contributed upstream to the Kubernetes autoscaler by implementing the OVHcloud provider. Since joining Alan he has shifted between software, SRE and platform leadership roles, bringing AI/LLM projects into production while keeping security and reliability front of mind. Based in Lille, he blends technical leadership, mentorship and project management to prioritize impactful platform work and ramp up teams quickly. Notably, he’s an active open-source contributor and—perhaps unsurprisingly for a French engineer—he also loves cheese.
