Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlin Serdean is a Principal Software Engineer based in Stockholm with 12 years of experience building and hardening infrastructure, cloud and networking software across enterprise and open-source domains. He combines deep systems-level expertise in C/C++ and Go with practical DevOps skills—Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes and CI/CD—to deliver cross-platform solutions from Linux to Windows and mainframe environments. A longtime open-source maintainer for Open vSwitch and OVN, he’s driven Windows support, CI improvements and build-system modernizations that enabled wider adoption of critical networking projects. At Cloudbase and Canonical he helped bring Kubernetes and container technologies to Windows and hybrid cloud, and at NVIDIA he now focuses on scalable, production-grade platform engineering. Known for improving build pipelines and toolchains (notably adding ccache, MSVC checks and parallel builds in enclave SDKs), he blends low-level debugging with deployment automation to shorten release cycles. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic design choices that bridge kernel-level changes and cloud-scale orchestration.
