Top SchoolDevon Boyer is a Staff Infrastructure Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale Kubernetes platforms, primarily at Shopify where he led application management and cross-cluster migration efforts across 400+ clusters and 13 GCP regions. He specializes in Golang and Ruby/Rails, authoring numerous custom Kubernetes operators, admission controllers, and automation tooling that enabled zero-downtime migrations and reduced upgrade timelines from months to weeks.

Long-tenured on-call for critical Kubernetes infrastructure, he pairs deep operational experience with a developer-first approach to platform tooling. Based in London, Ontario, he’s passionate about controller-driven automation and open to roles where that obsession can solve complex orchestration and reliability challenges.
