Hello, I am
Liviu N. Spiroiu

Explore my journey from software engineering to leadership, showcasing adaptability and expertise across multiple projects and challenges.

Professional Overview

My Professional Journey

From a lifelong learner to a Senior Software Engineer, Team Leader, Agile & Scrum Advocate, Technology Advocate & Public Speaker.

Bridging Ideas and Innovation

I believe technology only creates value when its story is shared.

As a frequent speaker at industry-leading events like DevCon, DevTalks, GoTechWorld, and VoxxedDays Romania  I’ve made it my mission to inspire, inform, and connect.
My talks range from pragmatic advice on scaling software systems to personal insights on leadership and team dynamics.

Whether addressing hundreds at a conference or facilitating a workshop, I aim to make tech approachable and actionable. Being on stage fuels my role as a community builder—I’m there not just to teach, but to learn and grow with others.

Public speaking is not a spotlight, but a platform—to advocate for better practices, inclusive teams, and the joy of lifelong learning in tech.

Building with Purpose

My journey in software development spans over two decades, marked by a relentless curiosity and a drive to build meaningful solutions. From hands-on coding to architectural decisions, I’ve contributed to diverse projects—from document scanning and storage, to agricultural European funds distribution, all the way to nanometer lithography alignment solutions.

My work consistently blends technical depth with business acumen: I’ve led migration projects to microservices, reduced system downtimes, improved performance benchmarks, and mentored junior developers into strong contributors.

I’m fluent in Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and modern cloud-native practices, with a solid grasp of CI/CD and DevOps principles. What defines my career isn’t just the tech stack, but my drive to turn complexity into simplicity and deliver stable, maintainable software that lasts.

Growing Teams That Grow Products

Leadership, for me, is about growing people and systems together.I’ve led cross-functional teams, transforming fragmented efforts into aligned missions.

My leadership style is rooted in trust, transparency, and servant leadership. Whether guiding a team through an organizational Agile transformation or coaching individuals to step into their strengths, I focus on outcomes and human connection.

I’ve managed delivery for complex projects, mentored engineers across disciplines, and worked closely with stakeholders to bridge the gap between vision and execution.

The highlight of my leadership career has been seeing individuals I once mentored grow into leaders themselves—and watching our teams exceed expectations again and again.

Changing How Teams Work

Agile isn’t just a framework I follow—it’s a mindset I champion.

As a certified Scrum Master, I’ve guided teams through true Agile transformation, not just textbook ceremonies.

I’ve helped product owners craft real value-driven roadmaps, and dismantled silos through effective Scrum rituals.

Beyond the teams I worked with, I’ve taken the Agile message to wider communities—speaking at conferences and workshops, including Salesforce user groups in Romania, where I advocated for practical, value-driven Scrum practices.

My advocacy centers on enabling collaboration, fast feedback, and sustainable pace—and I take pride in helping teams rediscover their autonomy and spark.

What Others Have To Say

Anyone can say anything about themselves, but it's equally important to hear what others have to say.

I worked together with Liviu for some years at ASML.
He has great analytical and problem solving skills, as well as a broad technical knowledge. It’s very easy to work with him as he is always open for a discussion and he picks up ideas very quick.
He contributed a lot to the team spirit on daily bases. Always on the front line for a team building activity. Definitely more than worth to have him in your team!

Liviu is by far the most experienced developer and team lead I have had so far. He has incredible patience and extensive knowledge in many fields. During our time working together, there has been no problem he could not solve or at least have a solution for.
Furthermore, I've always appreciated his ability to perfect the code - as he always said: "There's always room for improvement". He follows principles that he shares with everyone, which for a developer is a tremendous knowledge boost.
