Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Birca is an Observability Architect with 11 years of experience designing and operating large-scale monitoring, logging, and tracing platforms for enterprise products from on-prem to cloud. At Adobe he built the "Three Pillars of Observability" stack from scratch, scaling Prometheus, Thanos, Jaeger and FluentBit across multiple Kubernetes clusters and public cloud VMs while automating deployments with Terraform, Helm, and CI/CD tooling. His background ranges from low-level OSS/NMS and telecom-grade operations to systems administration and site reliability, giving him deep troubleshooting instincts across Linux, networking, and distributed systems. Based in Bucharest, he combines hands-on engineering with infrastructure-as-code discipline and a history of integrating legacy monitoring with modern observability—often surfacing cross-team patterns that reduce incident churn.
