Summary
Vlăduţ Stan is a hands-on engineering leader and serial founder with 11 years of experience building product-first software and crypto-native wallets from Bucharest. He co-founded VESPR, the leading Cardano wallet, and now leads engineering at Sesori, a privacy-first tool that turns phones into control surfaces for local AI coding sessions. At Adobe he progressed from senior engineer to engineering manager, launching Romania’s first Substance 3D team and shipping cross-product integrations that improved artist workflows. Comfortable across frontend and full-stack systems, he has driven platform work, high-impact retention features, and team growth while shipping reliable, user-focused products. Equally at home sketching UX details as debugging critical pipelines, he blends entrepreneurial drive with diplomatic stakeholder skills. Outside work he’s the kind of engineer who debates road versus mountain bikes and agonizes over pizza choices—evidence of a curious mind that enjoys practical trade-offs.
