Summary
Stefan R is a software engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and operating reliable cloud and infrastructure platforms, currently leading Health Platform engineering at Google from Bucharest. He combines deep hands-on expertise in DevOps, cloud migrations (AWS, GCP, Azure), and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, Docker) with people leadership gained at Fitbit and prior freelance and enterprise roles. Stefan’s background spans running large-scale Linux fleets, network and BGP operations, MySQL DBA work, and observability implementations—skills that surface in pragmatic, reliability-first platform designs. Comfortable in both startup and hyperscale environments, he has repeatedly led migrations and platform redesigns while retaining a developer’s mindset for tooling and automation. Notably, his career threads network engineering into cloud-native infrastructure, giving him an edge when systems require both low-level operational rigor and modern CI/CD practices.
