Summary
Denis Baciu is a Lead Engineer in Data & AI with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, event-driven systems and full-stack applications across finance, e-commerce, and insurance. He has led teams and features end-to-end, most recently architecting an in-house RAG system and AI Lab work with MongoDB Vector, sentiment analysis and PII reduction at a major UK comparison site before moving to AXA XL. Comfortable across .NET, Node.js, Azure, AWS, Kafka and microservices, Denis combines pragmatic prototyping with production-grade delivery and a focus on secure, scalable storage and messaging. He has driven monolith-to-microservices migrations, designed encrypted event pipelines, and set up cloud infrastructure for future AI workloads. Known for accelerating onboarding and mentoring developers, he balances leadership with hands-on coding and a wry sense of humour—“it’s not a bug, it’s an undocumented feature.”
