Summary
🤩
RockstarAndrei Alecu is a serial entrepreneur and seasoned software architect with 15+ years building full-stack, high-availability systems and SaaS platforms from Romania. He founded LetsPoker, a cloud-hosted event and CRM platform with a live mobile app that updates every second and is used at major poker festivals, and has a track record of bootstrapping products from idea to market. Early tinkering produced widely used tools like NetMeter and bespoke systems for clients from PwC to the US Army and BioWare, showing a long history of shipping practical, production-grade software. Andrei combines hands-on engineering (TypeScript, Node, React Native, Mongo) with infrastructure expertise—virtualization, clustering, HA, 2FA and GDPR-compliant security—and introduced TDD and decoupling practices to teams. He is an active open-source contributor with improvements to well-known projects such as yarnpkg/berry and dotenv, demonstrating attention to developer experience and robust testing. Not obviously stated: he started commercial software work in his early teens, shipping boxed software and tooling that gave him an unusually deep practical experience curve.
