A career built in chapters.

The technologies keep changing. The instinct to learn quickly, solve the hard part and deliver meaningful value does not.

Background

As a full stack software engineer turned AI engineer, with a degree in engineering from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, I have the skills and experience to tackle even the most complex projects. My Fullstack technologies background, combined with my current focus on AI agents and agentic AI development, allows me to provide valuable software solutions for diverse business domains. With a track record of successfully delivering projects, my main priority is delivering based on business objectives.

Experience

I started developing software in 2013. Since then, I worked with several companies on applications in different industries like benefits management, automotive, insurance, data analytics, master data management, E-Commerce, Real Estate, and FinOps. For all companies I provided significant value by creating or improving applications that increased the companies revenues significantly.

AI Agents & Agentic AI

For the past 2 years I've been focused on agentic AI, with hands-on expertise in: custom agents, MCP, Human in the loop with tool approvals, skills, custom harnesses, and autonomous agent execution for complex tasks.

How I work

Three habits, one standard.

Product sense

Start with the business objective, then shape the smallest useful system around it.

Systems thinking

Make the relationships visible — across people, architecture, data and delivery.

Hands-on delivery

Stay close enough to the code to turn decisions into dependable software.
