Top SchoolAlexandru Bucur is a Director of Engineering based in Amsterdam with 16 years of experience building scalable web platforms and developer teams.

Alexandru has repeatedly improved velocity and reliability through CI/CD, Kubernetes, sharding and event-driven architectures, and drove 99.999% uptime on critical SMS pipelines at MessageBird. He led Bubty’s engineering through acquisition, establishing hiring, performance, security and ISO/SOC practices while acting as a pragmatic principal engineer.

His long tenure on both product and ops sides gives him an unusual knack for anticipating operational pain points before they become crises.
