Adrian Petcu is an Engineering Manager with 10+ years of experience leading large-scale frontend and full-stack teams, currently driving Adobe’s shift from AI-assisted to AI-native development for GenStudio in performance marketing. He built and rolled out a production "dark factory"—a fully autonomous coding agent with human-in-the-loop checkpoints—that now runs org-wide and helped achieve a 98% activation success rate and zero-bug release policy across his teams. His background spans martech, fintech, and enterprise consulting, where he scaled delivery across 8 teams and hired 40+ engineers while owning comp and promotion cycles. An active Web3 technical advisor and PhD researcher, he brings hands-on smart-contract, DEX integration, and full-stack DApp experience alongside proven product-facing customer engagement. Combining rigorous academic training (PhD, MBA) with practical hiring, tooling, and evaluation practices, he excels at turning research-level ideas into production-grade developer workflows.
