Summary
Nicolae Stihhi is a seasoned full-stack engineer with 14 years of experience building high-performance, enterprise-grade applications across frontend, backend and cloud platforms. Based in Bucharest, he has led and scaled engineering teams at Deutsche Bank, managing up to 30 engineers while still contributing hands-on to Java (Spring) microservices, Angular frontends and Kubernetes deployments on Google Cloud and AWS.

Nicolae blends technical leadership and delivery—having owned strategy, talent decisions and digital transformation initiatives across multiple European markets—while remaining an active practitioner. He is comfortable across the stack from real-time WebSocket-driven frontends to API gateways and container orchestration, and often brings operational rigour from his early DevOps and IT admin roles. Colleagues value him for converting complex stakeholder requirements into maintainable, high-throughput systems that balance speed and compliance.
