Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Vîrlan is an engineering manager with over a decade of hands-on experience building and leading web and platform teams across e-commerce and media, currently at THG Ingenuity. He moved from solo entrepreneurship—launching a successful Romanian social platform—to scaling engineering organizations and delivering high-impact re-platforms and mobile apps that directly supported revenue. Sebastian blends deep technical fluency (PHP, Ruby, TypeScript, Clojure, Kafka, Kubernetes) with people-first leadership, having designed competency frameworks and performance tooling adopted group-wide at Boohoo. He’s pragmatic about trade-offs, driving migrations from monoliths to DDD microservices while keeping observability, testing and incident practices strong. Based in Stevenage, he pairs structured career coaching with a developer mindset—writing about engineering topics like key rotation and platform patterns—so teams ship resilient, measurable systems.
