About

Profile

I'm a full-stack engineer with a backend focus, drawn to the layer where well-structured services meet the realities of running them in production. My career has spanned two industries with very different rhythms — large-scale manufacturing at Bosch, then the regulated, detail-driven world of financial services at Accesa — and both have shaped how I think about software: it isn't done when it compiles; it's done when it runs reliably, observably, and quietly.

I'm fluent across the full delivery lifecycle — from CI/CD pipelines and database migrations to monitoring, autoscaling, and the unglamorous discipline of keeping a Kubernetes cluster lean and compliant. I enjoy the ownership that comes with this scope: writing a feature, shipping it, and then living with the consequences.

Software is done when it runs reliably, observably, and quietly — not when it compiles.

I hold a Bachelor's in Automation and Computer Science from Technical University of Cluj-Napoca.
