I strongly believe in Open Source and having control of your own data. Automations should work for you — without vendor lock-in.
About
Cristian Livadaru has been building technical solutions since the C64 days — over 33 years of hands-on experience spanning infrastructure, networking, development, and automation. He is the Founder and CTO of Cloudvox, a Vienna-based company that helps businesses identify and automate workflows with a strong focus on n8n as the primary automation platform.
Experience
As n8n Ambassador for Vienna, Cristian has grown the local community from just 3 attendees at the first meetup to over 150 participants, organizing regular events at Das Packhaus Wien covering everything from beginner workshops to enterprise-grade automation and AI agents. He brings a hands-on, open source philosophy to helping SMEs build automations that actually work — without vendor lock-in.
His technical background spans Linux system administration, Ruby on Rails web development, Docker containerization, API-driven workflows, and IT security. At Cloudvox, clients own their automations completely — a principle central to his approach.
Education
Cristian studied at HTBLVA Spengergasse in Vienna, one of Austria's leading technical secondary schools for IT and engineering.
