Designing and maintaining stable platforms that enable seamless user experiences and activity
About
Building systems, from first principles
I’m a full-stack developer specializing in web platforms and systems, focused on building reliable, scalable, and user-centered products. I emphasize thoughtful architecture and maintainability, while using AI as an integrated part of my engineering workflow. I collaborate with AI to explore ideas, refine solutions, and accelerate development, while carefully reviewing and validating its output.
I use specialized AI workflows and agents for development, analysis, and code review, while keeping architectural decisions, technical direction, and quality under deliberate human oversight. I’m continually exploring how to combine strong engineering principles with AI-assisted development to build robust, efficient, and genuinely useful software.

First case study is on its way — check back in a couple of weeks, or reach out directly in the meantime.
Process
How I build
Every platform starts the same way a stable system does — pick the right foundation, then build up in order.
Foundation
Define the goal and the constraints you're actually working within.
Structure & Planning
Choose the elements — languages, frameworks, data — that fit the goal.
Development & Testing
Build and test in small increments, catching issues before they compound.
Launch
Ship it, observe how it's used, and let it evolve from there.
Skills
Systems & Expertise
I treat languages, frameworks, and practices as tools to be chosen deliberately: the architecture drives the stack, and the expected user base drives the architecture.

Where I've worked
Full Stack Developer · Synatix Austria
Architected frontend, backend, and data infrastructure across two projects, solo on one and part of a team on the other, replacing a failed legacy platform with a faster, more reliable system.
- Adopted Cursor for AI-assisted development in my own workflow and self-studied Claude Code to build expertise in advanced AI tooling.
- Architected optimized frontend caching and state management solutions in React.JS that created seamless user experiences while handling intensive database operations, implementing UI techniques that provided immediate visual feedback while backend processes completed asynchronously in the background
- Rebuilt entire system architecture, introducing staging environments and redesigning database infrastructure
- Independently designed and managed complete data infrastructure, including custom ETL processes, KPI development, Cron Jobs, etc.
Application Developer · IBM Romania
Built and maintained full-stack web applications (React, Node.js, GraphQL, MongoDB) in a cross-functional Agile team, integrating payment gateways and social media APIs.
- Collaborated with product managers and UI/UX designers to deliver feature-rich and visually appealing interfaces, adhering to design and functionality requirements.
- Built full-stack applications with a modular React front end and a scalable Node.js/Express back end using GraphQL and MongoDB, keeping code organized and systems efficient.
Scriptwriter · Ipsos Interactive Services
Built and quality-checked online and mobile surveys using Lua and custom HTML/CSS, integrating audio, video, and image content while ensuring script and data accuracy.
- Built custom HTML/CSS templates integrating audio, video, and image content for mobile-friendly surveys.
Project Coordinator · Cybernetics Students' Union
Managed project lifecycle through coordinating presentations, overseeing onboarding, developing documentation, facilitating cross-departmental communication, and providing solutions to departmental leaders
- Delivered the two university guides that marked the project's completion.
