Hi, I’m

Software Engineer — Cloud, DevOps & Frontend
I build React frontends, work on Azure and Hetzner infrastructure, and write pipelines and Cypress tests to get changes into production. My background also includes software that talks directly to industrial equipment.
Current work
Freelance Software Engineer
These two client engagements make up my current work: infrastructure and deployments on one side, frontend functionality and testing on the other.

About
Before the cloud deployments and microfrontends, there were machines to connect, Node.js gateways, and data to bring into real-time interfaces. That experience still informs how I work on a frontend or a pipeline.
I grew up in Moldova, lived in Romania, and now call Italy home. You’ll also find me at local meetups, on an Apennine trail, or getting into an action RPG.
