Open to Opportunities

Calin Gabriel

I build and improve production systems in payments, energy, and real estate for companies like Scout24, RWE, and NETS.

I started working in software at 16. Today I bring 15 years in the field and 9+ years of professional delivery across European product and enterprise teams.

The Story Behind the Code

Where I started

Started early, learned by shipping

At 16 I won an internship contest in Galati and turned it into my first software job. I learned Linux and web development on real work before moving to Cluj-Napoca for Computer Science at Babes-Bolyai University, where I put formal structure around the practical habits I had already started building.

Where I am now

Senior full-stack delivery across product domains

I have worked across payments, energy, real estate, e-commerce, and publishing, including DAX-listed companies and major European platforms. My strongest work is in backend-heavy full-stack systems: Node.js, React, databases, testing, integration work, and performance improvements that are measured rather than guessed.

Where I'm heading

Looking for high-context engineering teams

I am looking for teams across Europe where engineers own outcomes, communicate clearly, and care about long-term maintainability. The best fit is a product or platform team with enough domain complexity to reward careful engineering.

Case Studies

Real problems, real decisions, real outcomes.
