Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.

ABOUT ME
As a Web & Mobile developer, I create user-friendly software that enhances people’s lives. I live in Cluj-Napoca, a dynamic city with a booming tech scene. I adhere to best practices and standards for clean and maintainable code. I write Medium articles on hot programming topics and post programming content on social media using the latest AI tools.
I keep learning and challenging myself with the latest trends and technologies in the industry.
These are some of my articles written in July 2023 on Medium.
CERTIFICATES
I have completed various technical certificates from reputable online platforms such as Udemy, Academind, London App Brewery and Google. These certificates cover topics such as web development, mobile development and cloud computing. I have gained valuable skills and knowledge from these courses that I apply to my projects visible on GitHub.
I also have a B2 level certification in English from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). This demonstrates my proficiency in the language and my ability to communicate effectively in different contexts.
I have added above the Certificates that helped me improve the most. In addition, I regularly participate in local conferences and events such as DevTalks, Startup Meetings, Hackathons and so on. These activities allow me to network with other professionals, learn from experts, showcase my work and challenge myself.
WORK
I have worked on around 8 projects during my 4 work experiences, ranging from small to big in scale and scope. These projects helped me grow as a developer, learn new technologies and meet new people internationally. I have worked with various frameworks, languages and tools such as ReactJS, AngularJS, NodeJS, C#, PostgreSQL, Firebase, RabbitMQ, Keycloak and so on.
Three of my work experiences were in startups, where I learned a lot about the administrative and technical aspects of running a business. I was involved in tasks such as planning, designing, testing, deploying and maintaining the software products. I also collaborated with other developers, designers and stakeholders in agile teams. Working in startups taught me how to be flexible, creative and resourceful in solving problems.

I am a passionate and experienced mobile developer who has published multiple apps on Google Play and App Store using Flutter and other technologies. I have created apps that are fun, useful, educational, and engaging for different domains and genres. Some of my apps are:

CalcuHealth: A handy app that helps users monitor their health and fitness.
Mobile:Roulette: A fun and easy way to discover new movies to watch.
I have used various state management, routing, navigation, and asset creation tools to build these apps, such as Riverpod, BLOC, GetX, go_router, fvm, Canva, Figma, Spline, CandyIcons, Screenshots PRO, pinetools and leonardo.ai.
I have a strong foundation in coding and logic, as evidenced by my Hackerrank profile where I have solved many challenges and earned badges in different domains such as algorithms, data structures, problem solving, SQL, and more. I have a high rank and a good reputation on the platform.
I am also a content creator who runs a social media account called FlutterWithAi where I post Flutter and AI content on YouTube shorts, TikTok and Instagram reels. I create high-quality and entertaining content using Flutter and AI technologies, such as opus.clip and quickvid.ai. I am passionate and knowledgeable about Flutter and AI, and I enjoy sharing interesting and valuable content with others.
