Summary
Efstratios X is a Senior Platform Engineer with 13 years of experience building resilient, cloud-native infrastructure and backend systems across startups and large enterprises. He combines pragmatic, lean engineering with strong practices—CI/CD, code review, TDD/ATDD—and is most comfortable on the backend while hands-on across the full stack. His recent roles at HashiCorp and Xata.io reflect deep operational ownership of AWS, Vault/Consul/Nomad, Terraform and disaster-recovery work spanning regions and accounts. He’s led large IaC migrations, redefined cloud account and networking structures, and driven postmortem-led reliability improvements that reduced repeat incidents. Based in Toronto, he pairs a BEng in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with a track record of shipping secure, production-grade systems using languages from Java and Ruby to Elixir and Elm—often favoring pragmatic, minimal-overhead solutions.
