Liviu Constantinescu
Senior Systems Engineer and DevOps Leader with a proven record of delivering cloud transformation, automation, and innovation across security-sensitive, highly regulated industries—currently visual effects and animation, and previously medical research. At Animal Logic (now Netflix Animation), I architected and delivered a transformative, hemisphere-first cloud render pipeline, championed infrastructure-as-code workflows through tooling, training, and platform templating and by example, and built secure, scalable production environments for our award-winning feature films. Recognised for boundless energy, a passion for solving the most intractable problems, and for mentoring across departments, as well as advancing industry best practices through leadership at SIGGRAPH, AWS events, and the Cloud Native Studios User Group. Passionate about empowering creatives with reliable, cutting-edge technology to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.
