Summary
Zhiyuan Cai is a DevOps leader with 11+ years of experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms across startups and Fortune 500 firms, now leading DevOps at CPP Investments in Toronto. He combines hands-on SRE and architecture expertise with release management and agile delivery, and holds both AWS and Google Cloud architect certifications. As founder of Bonesoul Inc., he consults on cloud migration, CI/CD automation and infrastructure-as-code, bringing an operator’s eye from large-scale Puppet and Kubernetes deployments to Terraform and Packer pipelines. His background spans building production teams and tooling—from running 200+ VM environments and automating complex retail release processes to containerizing enterprise apps—so he’s fluent in both legacy datacenter transitions and modern cloud patterns. Notably, his early career blended software engineering, solutions architecture and team-building in Shanghai and North America, giving him a rare mix of technical depth and cross-cultural leadership.
