Remote-EU B2B · available immediately · est. Cluj-Napoca
I help teams reduce delivery risk in migrations, data-heavy APIs, and regulated platforms. Right now that's an institutional crypto-custody platform for banks at Bitpanda — before it, Scout24, RWE, and a run of systems that had to keep working while they were rebuilt.
Best fit: long-term remote-EU contracts where production quality, measured performance, and plain senior communication matter more than another generic full-stack profile.
Not a cheap task executor. The strongest fit is a team that needs a senior who can enter an existing system, understand the domain, and move important work without adding chaos.
Replace risky legacy paths with maintainable TypeScript services, using tests and narrow migration slices so the team keeps shipping while the system changes underneath them.
Evidence RWE — Java→NestJS migration of an energy-market platform.
Profile slow flows, separate real bottlenecks from guesses, fix data access, and keep production workflows responsive under actual usage rather than benchmark conditions.
Evidence ~65% faster APIs · exports cut from 45 min to 12.
Build bank-facing services where correctness, auth, and auditability are the product. The kind of work where a quiet bug is a headline, so it ships tested and reviewed.
Evidence Bitpanda — institutional crypto-custody for banks.
Ship product changes in mature systems where SEO, integrations, reviews, and coverage all decide whether a release is safe to send.
Evidence ImmoScout24 — search, listing, SEO, Iterable.
At 16 I won an internship contest in Galați and turned it into my first software job — Linux and web development on real work. Then Computer Science at Babeș-Bolyai in Cluj-Napoca put formal structure around habits I'd already built by breaking things in production.
I've worked across fintech and crypto-custody, energy, real estate, e-commerce and publishing — including DAX-listed companies, a regulated custody platform for banks, and major European platforms. The strongest work is backend-heavy: services, data access, testing, integrations, and performance that's profiled rather than assumed.
Long-term remote-EU B2B contracts where engineers own outcomes, communicate plainly, and care about maintainability. The best fit is a product or platform team with enough domain complexity to reward careful work — not another seat to fill.
Real problems, real decisions, real outcomes.
Shipped search/listing, SEO, and Iterable integration work inside a fully tested distributed platform where release quality and production safety mattered.
Reduced delivery risk in a Java-to-NestJS migration, profiled MongoDB-heavy data flows, and moved export processing into worker pools.
Rotated across enterprise domains, shipping React and Node.js systems for payments, telecom, and publishing clients with fast ramp-up and clear delivery habits.
