My Journey as a Programmer

“Tomorrow will be too late. It's now or never 🦅”

I’m a Senior .NET Software Engineer with almost 8 years of experience designing and delivering reliable, scalable, and high-performance systems. I graduated from high school with a focus on Mathematics-Informatics in 2016, achieving 9.70 in Mathematics and 9.55 in Informatics on the Baccalaureate, and earned 9.65 in the faculty admittance exam in Mathematics. I began my academic journey in October 2016 at the University of Craiova, Faculty of Automation, Computers, and Electronics, Information Technology (English section), and launched my professional career in 2018 while still in my second year of study. After graduating in 2020, I continued to deepen my expertise in backend and frontend engineering, cloud architecture, and distributed systems. I have a strong foundation in C#, Java, PL/SQL, Python, and C++, complemented by hands-on experience with AWS cloud technologies. Throughout my career, I have adapted to diverse technical environments and business domains, contributing across the full technology stack. I thrive in complex projects where thoughtful architecture, performance, and user experience are critical. Continuous learning, technical excellence, and delivering meaningful impact remain at the core of my professional growth.

From Backend Systems to Cross-Platform Apps

My foundation is in backend development using .NET, where I have built RESTful APIs and designed and implemented microservices architectures on AWS. I have contributed across the full enterprise software development lifecycle — from requirements gathering and system design to development, testing, and production deployments, as well as ongoing maintenance and support. In addition to backend engineering, I have experience as a frontend developer using WPF, creating structured and reusable desktop interfaces. I’ve also worked as a PL/SQL developer, designing and optimizing database solutions.

I enjoy designing clean architectures and scalable services. Whether building APIs with ASP.NET, desktop applications in WPF, developing mobile applications in Flutter and .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid, or deploying cloud solutions on AWS, I focus on maintainability, performance, and long-term reliability. I also have a strong interest in modern frontend development, particularly with React and Next.js.

Personal Experience

MusicSoft — Piano Learning App

In September 2022, I developed MusicSoft, a mobile piano learning application designed to make music education more accessible and engaging.

The application supports MIDI connectivity, allowing users to connect their digital piano via USB for an interactive learning experience.

Originally built using Xamarin.Forms, I rebuilt the entire application two years later using Flutter and Dart to leverage modern UI capabilities and cross-platform performance.

The application has over 400 downloads, achieved without any paid advertising or promotional campaigns.

NextUp — Smart Event Countdown App

Built in January 2026 using .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid, NextUp is a lightweight event management application designed to provide a clear and intuitive overview of upcoming milestones. I designed and implemented the application using a hybrid architecture that combines native MAUI capabilities with Blazor’s component-based UI model.

The application enables users to quickly create, edit, and manage events, visualize time progression through a dynamic progress bar, and schedule notifications at a user-defined time to ensure important moments are never missed.

The solution emphasizes clean architecture, maintainability, and a streamlined user experience.

MathSoft — Mental Math App

In November 2025, I launched MathSoft, a cross-platform mental math app developed in Flutter, designed to help people worldwide master math at their own pace.

The app offers quick-thinking challenges, real-time feedback, and aleaderboard to make learning engaging and motivating for users of all ages.

My goal with MathSoft is to turn everyday math practice into a fun and rewarding experience, helping learners boost speed, accuracy, and confidence while tracking their progress along the way.
