Alexandru Giurgiu is a Systems Engineer and Cloud Native Consultant based in Amsterdam with 12 years of experience building programmable infrastructure and resilient microservice platforms. He consults with the FikaWorks collective and co-founded Seqvence, blending hands-on engineering with entrepreneurial instincts. His contributions span full-stack work on the popular Sock Shop microservices demo—covering front-end UX, backend payment and orders logic, and CI/CD/deployment automation—plus low-level concurrency and data-versioning work in Dolt. Alexandru combines strong DevOps and backend skills with a Systems & Network Engineering MSc and a pragmatic focus on digital sovereignty. He’s comfortable moving between Docker/Kubernetes deployment scripts, observability hooks like Prometheus, and concurrent data structures, making him effective at closing gaps between application code and production operations. An uncommon strength is his ability to improve both developer experience and runtime reliability, from build pipelines to data integrity.
