Hi, I’m Tudor Nicolae Pascu, a chaos engineer and software developer based in Bucharest, Romania. I design and run chaos experiments across hybrid environments—bare metal, OpenStack private clouds, and AWS—to uncover weaknesses in large-scale distributed systems. I enjoy turning failure into resilience: I build automation and tooling to parity across infrastructures, collaborate with software engineers and SREs, and translate experiment outcomes into architectural improvements and capacity planning. I stay curious about cloud-native resiliency and serverless reliability, and I love sharing knowledge with teams to raise the bar on reliability.…Hi, I’m Tudor Nicolae Pascu, a chaos engineer and software developer based in Bucharest, Romania.
