Alexandru Vlăduțu is a JavaScript developer at a company in Bucharest, Romania. He started creating applications with PHP five years ago, but after finding out about server-side JavaScript with Node.js he never had to switch technologies again. You may have seen him answering questions on stackoverflow.com under the nickname alessioalex, where he is in the top three overall answerers for tags like Node.js, Express, Mongoose, or Socket.IO. By day he battles cross browser compatibility issues, but by night he brings together embedded databases, servers, and caching layers into single applications using the good parts of JavaScript. Aside from the geeky stuff, he enjoys spending time with his wife.
