Senior🎓
Top SchoolVlad Ion is a seasoned software engineering manager based in Bucharest with over 20 years of experience building distributed, embedded and networked systems and a decade of hands-on experience in cloud and enterprise services. Currently leading an engineering team at Microsoft to build out Azure Storage for sovereign clouds, he combines low-level C and C# expertise with modern backend, CI/CD and orchestration practices, and is exploring Rust in his spare time. His background spans satellite-grade real-time systems, high-performance desktop visualization (including GPU-accelerated heatmaps), and large-scale monitoring and cost-optimization projects that cut running costs an order of magnitude. A former mentor and university lab assistant with top academic credentials in Advanced Computer Architecture, he brings a pragmatic, research-minded approach to architecture, onboarding and operational excellence. Notably, he has a long track record of starting projects from PoC to production—often as the first local hire—and a personal interest in the history of human and programming languages.
