Alexandru Zahar's Linkedin Analytics

I’m a technical leader with over 8 years of experience building scalable software systems and AI-powered applications—from founding and scaling two startups to engineering robust AI platforms for global enterprises like Knauf. At Knauf Digital, the innovation arm of the multi-billion-dollar Knauf Group, I lead the development of generative AI solutions in high-security, mission-critical environments. My work bridges modern AI technologies with enterprise infrastructure, with a focus on MLOps, LLM applications, and cloud-native architecture. I thrive at the intersection of deep tech and business—combining technical expertise with strategic vision to drive impactful results. Whether deploying models in regulated industries or architecting real-time SaaS systems, I emphasize speed, security, and scalability. I’ve co-founded two startups, where I led engineering from zero to MVP, ran lean experiments, and built products under real-world constraints—lessons I bring into every high-stakes delivery today. I share my thoughts regularly on Substack and LinkedIn, covering GenAI, developer productivity, and startup engineering culture. As a former professional volleyball player, I bring discipline, resilience, and team spirit to everything I do—whether building software or leading teams.
