Senior🎓
Top SchoolSabin Iacob is an experienced systems-focused software engineer and entrepreneur with 18 years of building and scaling web applications and infrastructure, currently running Webflakes SRL in Romania. Trained in physics and informatics, he began in nuclear research before shifting to web development and later specializing in sysadmin, SRE and DevOps work for fast-growing companies. He has led migrations from EC2 to containerized workflows, managed fleets of dedicated servers and hundreds of VMs, and automated infrastructure with tools like Puppet and Terraform. Sabin contributes to open-source projects such as FreeCAD (improving the Path/GRBL postprocessor) and Bangle.js apps (reliably scheduling alarms), reflecting a hands-on interest in embedded and robotics projects. Known for clean frontend code and accessibility (GAWDS member since 2004), he combines pragmatic operational discipline with a maker’s curiosity—electronics, machining and archery among his hobbies. Practical, low-ego and solution-oriented, he thrives solving “impossible” ops problems while still shipping code.
