Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexei Schiopu is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building product-driven teams and platforms for construction and logistics. He helped scale PlanGrid from an early employee to a business integrated into Autodesk, led cross-functional teams at Lattice to expand ARR and product offerings, and served as Pallet’s first executive hire driving reliability and strategic roadmapping ahead of a $27M Series B. Now as CEO of VAWN he’s tackling a concrete industry pain point—automating electrical estimating from 2D plans to give subcontractors fast, accurate takeoffs that materially improve bid confidence and profitability. Hands-on technically as well as strategically, he’s contributed front-end improvements to PlanGrid’s popular react-file-viewer (adding support for 360 photos, PDFs, DOCX, media, and better spreadsheet viewing), reflecting a habit of shipping practical tooling that customers love. Based in Moraga, CA and trained as an electrical engineer at the University of Waterloo, he brings an uncommon blend of field apprenticeship, deep product instincts, and execution-level engineering leadership.
