Hi, I'm Razvan Cranganu —
Sr. Solution Architect & DevOps Engineer
I design and build infrastructure that scales — from architecture decisions to the pipelines that ship code. Currently focused on cloud-native platforms, automation, and helping teams move faster with less friction.
who i am
Engineer. Founder. Problem solver.
I started as a developer building ecommerce platforms for major UK brands, founded my own agency for nearly eight years, then pivoted fully into cloud architecture and DevOps. That path gives me something rare: I understand the code, the business, and the infrastructure — all at once.
Today I work at Waypoint Trading Solutions — the global financial infrastructure business established by TNS, delivering ultra-low-latency connectivity and market data solutions to the global trading community.
