Summary
Constantin Dumitrascu is a founder and engineer in Seattle with two decades of experience building and scaling distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, full-stack platforms, and AI/ML products at Google, AWS, and Facebook. He has repeatedly taken products from prototype to global launch—designing next-gen transfer appliances at Google, reshaping Facebook’s video encoding stack to save tens of thousands of servers, and architecting AI and quantum-classical hosting services at AWS. As founder of Papelist he built an AI-powered research discovery tool with novel algorithms for dynamic community hierarchies and a suite of clustering methods that achieved organic global adoption and a Semantic Scholar feature. Equally comfortable leading 40+ person teams or shipping code, he blends strategic thinking with hands-on problem solving to transform both systems and engineering culture. Notably, he has a track record of extreme optimizations—speeding experimentation and development cycles by orders of magnitude—while delivering secure, production-grade infrastructure. He holds a BS in Computer Science from Politehnica University of Bucharest and continues to bridge research and product in practical ways.
