Trust is a latency killer
I build fast, autonomous teams by treating trust as an efficiency metric. Verifying every step causes latency. Fearing mistakes causes packet loss. Perfectionism is a bottleneck wearing a nice shirt. Most of my energy goes into removing the middleware between engineers and product impact.
I started in the high-pressure trenches at Bitdefender. Then enterprise-scale migrations at Adobe, developer security at Snyk, and now the deep belly of risk, fraud and financial crime at Stripe, where I also lead our Bucharest site.
Outside the day job I build communities, walk Bucharest most Sundays with Tura de duminicΔ, run a Dungeons & Dragons table, and write a field note most weeks. Raiding party or product org, it's the same job: people fundamentally want to belong. I call the whole thing the Technological Renaissance.
