About

Hi, I’m Eduard Dulharu, a Senior Infrastructure Architect with over a decade of experience designing and delivering Next-Gen networks, data centers, and cloud connectivity across Europe. I excel at translating business challenges into scalable, secure network architectures using Cisco ACI, SDN, and cloud integrations, while leading cross-functional teams and mentoring junior engineers.

I enjoy guiding customers through complex migrations—from traditional networks to automation-driven environments—and exploring ML/AI approaches to optimize resilience and performance in core networks. When I’m not architecting solutions, I’m exploring new technologies and sharing insights through workshops and talks.
