Web aficionado. AI enthusiast. Coffee sponge.
Over the last decade I have been crafting modern web applications and landing pages in all kinds of professional environments, from start-up to corporate.
I am comfortable wearing multiple hats in the process of building digital products if the high-level vision is making the world a better place for all humanity, like we do with the non-profit project The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Romania.

Leading a large frontend development team on implementing, testing and deploying a suite of web applications powered by React.js, in the European insurance industry.
Mentoring young adults in the project The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Romania, which includes 4 types of extracurricular activities: Physical Recreation, Personal Skills, Voluntary Service and Adventurous Journey. It's a simple but effective way of giving back to the local community while meeting new, remarkable people and polishing my leadership skills.
Worked closely with large software development teams on implementing, testing and delivering web applications for an European corporate client in the real-estate industry.
Designed, implemented, tested and documented frontend functionalities of a web-based job management platform using Vue.js, Tailwind, Pinia, FormKit, ElementIO and Netlify for a Netherlands startup that got funding 3M€.
Worked with a big engineering team on maintaining Vue.js components of a international web platform based on FirstSpirit CMS. This web application supports content in 50+ languages, multiple themes, distributed file-sharing systems and personalized content.
Built, deployed and maintained high-performant consumer-facing web applications for our main overseas client, National Geographic. I have been involved in all stages of development, but my main focus was on delivering frontend functionalities using React.js for an application with 100k+ MAU.
The framework used to build the frontend application was Backbone with Chaplin as an architecture model so we would respect MVV* design patterns and we used a lot a client's internal library to create and maintain uniform components across the app. We used GitHub for versioning control and CircleCI for CI/CD. We wrote (some) unit tests using Jest and we tested cross-browser using BrowserStack.
At Digital Kids Cluj we helped 8-12 years old children grasp the digital skills they need in order to keep up with the tools we have in the 21st century. We keep classes small, up to 12 students and there are multiple levels of age and difficulty - from introducing them to the computer and the Web to concepts of programming in Javascript and Python. Beside our regular classes each week we continuously grew and unfolded new projects and partnerships every year. We succeeded in having Google, Microsoft, Fundatia Progress and Orange (for the third year in a row) as partners and with their help we reached and initiated over 7 000 kids from Romania in Computer Science.
Worked for a US-based client in the education sector and in a few months we built 2 medium-size web applications: one with with Python, Flask and BulmaCSS and the frontend of another one completly from scratch using AngularJS and BulmaCSS. For bug-tracking, issue reporting, sprint management, code-reviews and continuous integration we used Team Foundation Server on a server hosted in-house.
