About
I'm a Software Engineer with a strong focus on web and backend development, primarily using Java and Spring Boot, and a growing interest in Python, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven systems. I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, and over the past five years I've worked on everything from airline-industry microservices to IT automation and workflow orchestration.
I care about practical problem-solving over theoretical complexity — building things that work reliably, scale sensibly, and are pleasant to maintain. I'm currently exploring how AI tools fit into modern, distributed system design, and I enjoy taking a project from a rough idea through to something people actually use.
Outside of engineering, I enjoy football, traveling, and a good cup of coffee — usually while thinking through the next problem worth solving.

Open to new opportunities
I'm increasingly drawn to AI-driven products and automation — problems where the interesting part isn't just writing code, but figuring out what should be built in the first place. Alongside my full-time role, I take on freelance work end-to-end: from a rough idea or a whiteboard sketch to a deployed, working product.
