Robert Dinu is a data-driven Chapter Lead in software engineering with 11 years of experience building and scaling backend and ML-enabled platforms across finance and energy domains. Currently at ING Nederland he splits time as a hiring and engineering manager while contributing to machine learning platform engineering, combining people leadership with hands-on Scala, Python and cloud work. He has improved delivery metrics (e.g., 63% cycle time reduction) and driven revenue-impacting technical changes, with deep experience in Kafka, Spark, Kubernetes and cloud migrations. Robert pairs strong soft skills—communication, persuasion and mentoring—with a precise, analytical approach rooted in his finance education, and he often moves between strategic architecture and fixing production issues himself. His background includes significant performance optimizations (Spark jobs cut from 48h to 2h) and raising test coverage and observability across teams, showing both tactical and long-term engineering improvements.
