About Me

My journey in technology began in childhood, when I first learned to install Windows 98. That early curiosity quickly evolved into something more—I started offering technical support to friends and family, solving problems and helping people navigate their computer challenges.

As a teenager, I took my passion further by creating a small local network between neighbors. What started as a simple project grew into a neighborhood-level network, which I managed alongside other people of legal age who could legally provide such services. These early experiences taught me not just about technology, but about identifying needs and creating practical solutions.

During this time, I discovered the power of automation. Using the resources available to me, I taught myself VBA for Microsoft Excel and other Office applications. This self-taught knowledge became immediately valuable when I secured my first professional role.

At Nokia, I worked as a Key Operator Reports, where I immersed myself in production optimization, logistics, and customer order prioritization. My role centered on reporting and analysis, calculating critical KPIs including efficiency, production volume, manufacturing error rates, operational audits, and quality metrics.

I reported these indicators hourly, daily, monthly, and annually, ensuring stakeholders had the information they needed exactly when they needed it. I also managed SAP exports, tracked production emergencies, and continuously improved our reporting processes through custom VBA macros.

In 2013, I joined Robert Bosch, initially as a Technician-Operator for Industrial Robots. But my passion for development and problem-solving quickly became evident. Within two years, I transitioned to a Full Stack .NET Developer role, where I became the sole IT specialist embedded in a non-technical production team. This unique position required me to identify needs, design solutions, and implement them from concept to deployment.

During my time at Bosch, I developed comprehensive tools that transformed how the company managed operations. I built a raw materials tracking system with barcode scanner integration, created an ASP.NET dashboard that automatically displayed KPIs with visual alerts for management meetings, developed a production deviation tracking tool that aggregated data from multiple Excel sources, and implemented a low-cost vehicle tracking system using smart card readers.

Each project required integrating data from diverse sources—Oracle, MySQL, and MS SQL databases—demonstrating my ability to work across complex technical ecosystems.

In 2022, I further formalized my expertise by completing a Software Developer certification in C# and Microsoft .NET, accredited by the Ministry of Education and Labor. This certification validated years of practical experience and deepened my understanding of software architecture and best practices.

Since May 2023, I have been working B2B as a Full Stack .NET Developer through Man Andrei-Catalin PFA. I have delivered solutions ranging from business management suites using Blazor and MAUI Hybrid, to web scraping automation with Playwright, to custom Google Sheets reporting functions.

My approach combines technical expertise with a practical understanding of business needs, shaped by years of working directly with production and reporting processes. I prefer projects where scope is clear, communication is direct and the solution has measurable impact.
