Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristian Toma is a Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and scaling backend and event-driven systems that power millions of users and millions of daily events. He combines hands-on development in Go, Python and PHP with pragmatic architecture—re-architecting monoliths into microservices, applying DDD, and codifying CI/CD and observability practices. At InData Labs he architected a high-volume loyalty platform on AWS handling 7M+ events/day and 8M+ active users, using Terraform, OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb for production-grade reliability. He mentors engineers into senior contributors and shapes long-term technical strategy, favoring maintainable systems over tool fetishism. An active contributor to open-source bindings for FFmpeg, he brings low-level integration experience alongside large-scale backend design. Based in Bucharest, he blends product-aligned thinking with a developer’s attention to detail—and he likes turtles.
