Top SchoolRadu Popa is a Staff SRE with 11 years of infrastructure and DevOps experience, currently shaping cloud and IaC best practices for an advanced Aptos-based blockchain network at Movement Labs. He has spent the last four-plus years focused on web3 and blockchain reliability—designing CI/CD, Kubernetes, and observability stacks for projects at Biconomy, Composable Finance, and Parity Technologies. Comfortable across AWS and GCP, Terraform/CDKTF, Ansible, Helm and ArgoCD, he combines hands-on automation with security and cost-performance oversight. His background includes building chaos-tested E2E frameworks for Substrate nodes and operating global, highly available web3 services. A self-taught, open-source-minded engineer who enjoys continuous learning, he brings pragmatic solutions that balance developer velocity with production-grade debuggability. Based in Tennessee (originally from Germany), he blends systems engineering depth with a long-standing interest in Linux, web development and the “open source way.”
