Seven years of continuous operation is a people thing before it is an infrastructure thing. Every validator decision at 01node traces back to a named engineer you can reach by email.

Founded 01node in 2019. Background in IT service management and security. CISA-certified since 2004. Computer Science degree from Romanian-American University (2004). Running validator operations across 40+ PoS mainnets with zero slashing events.
CTO · Infrastructure

DevOps Engineer
Validator fleet automation, chain upgrades, ZFS tuning for enterprise NVMe storage, and incident response.
DevOps
Deployment pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and the sub-second eBPF probes that catch oracle-window jitter before it breaks a Chainlink heartbeat.

Content Writer
Technical writing on staking, distributed validator technology, and ecosystem research.
We hire infrastructure engineers, DevOps, and SRE who care about zero slashing more than they care about velocity.
