About

Always happy to talk shop with fellow engineers. Say hi on LinkedIn.

Who I am

I'm Alexandru, a DevOps engineer based in Dublin. Originally from Romania. I've been doing this for about 5 years now. Started with backend and full-stack development (2 years of Java, Python, JavaScript), then moved into DevOps and infrastructure where I've been for almost 3 years.

Currently working at EdgeTier. Before that I was at UKG, where I supported organization-wide infrastructure with a team of 4 people. I also spent 9 months leading that team as a Certified Scrum Master, which taught me that managing people is harder than managing servers.
