Top SchoolAlexandru Ast is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO/CSO based in Bucharest with 11 years of hands-on experience building and protecting large-scale cloud and infrastructure platforms. He has led platform and security efforts at companies from Adobe to Softvision, delivering resilient AWS solutions that managed petabytes of data and tens of thousands of instances.

Fluent across clouds and stacks, he turns legacy systems into scalable, secure platforms and negotiates for the “extra IOPS” that power ambitious products.
