Summary
Robert Sicoie is a seasoned software architect and founder with nearly two decades of experience designing and delivering distributed, cloud-native systems across manufacturing, finance, retail, defense, and public sector domains. As co-founder of Nexa and founder of Convex, he now focuses on an architecture-first approach to tame the AI-agent-driven acceleration of implementation—turning fuzzy ideas into validated engineering intent before code is generated. He blends hands-on expertise in Java, Python, Kubernetes, Kafka and large-scale data pipelines with a practiced ability to define architecturally significant requirements, boundaries, and measurable quality attributes. Robert routinely guides CEOs and CTOs to reduce drift, rework and long-term debt by enforcing clear acceptance criteria and traceability across artifacts. His background ranges from heavy-data systems at Betfair to cloud-native, observability-led architectures at Atos and Eviden, giving him both operational rigor and product-minded judgment. Based in Cluj-Napoca, he’s as comfortable leading technical teams as he is shaping product discovery workshops that reveal the real problem behind requested features.
