Frequently asked questions
Short answers for recruiters, collaborators, and search agents.
Who is Antoine Boucher?
Antoine Boucher is a software engineer in Montreal whose work spans platform engineering, backend systems, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and interactive graphics with C++/OpenGL and Blender. His public CV, blog, and open-source projects are published at antoineboucher.info.
What does platform and graphics mean in his work?
Platform engineering means the services, CI/CD pipelines, containers, cloud infrastructure, and observability that help product teams ship reliably. Graphics refers to real-time rendering, shaders, simulation, and Blender tooling as a technical research track, not a pure artist portfolio.
What is his experience with secure CI/CD and Kubernetes?
At IMC2, he worked with GitLab CI/CD across Java microservices on two GKE clusters in GCP, with Terraform for networking and observability plus JUnit and Playwright end-to-end tests. At Polytechnique Montreal, he teaches DevSecOps labs with Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab, and OWASP-oriented scenarios.
What is uml-mcp?
uml-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol server that turns architecture prompts into UML and related diagrams using Mermaid, PlantUML, and Kroki. Repository: github.com/antoinebou12/uml-mcp
