Building things.
Thinking a lot.
Rebuilding things.

Engineer by calling. Architect in my head. I explore systems, ideas, and — recently — the complete mystery of a six-week-old human named Emma.

Romania × Serbia

I've been building software since 2008, across industries that have nothing obvious in common — printing, microcontrollers, automotive, travel. The thread is curiosity. I get drawn into problems, pull them apart, and reassemble them differently.

I grew up between Romania and Serbia, shaped by both and fully claimed by neither. That in-between feeling never really left. I think it's why I'm more comfortable with "it depends" than most engineers.

In 2018 I landed on the Côte d'Azur and haven't left. I've since become an amateur gardener — it balances the day job in ways I didn't expect. Turns out tending to things that grow slowly is good for an engineer's soul.

I like to spin plans and designs in my head — sometimes it's enough to keep me entertained for hours. Beats doom scrolling. Which I do. Once every three months. For about 90 minutes.

Currently

🍼 Emma, born 29.03.2026. I am still baffled how a 3kg person has managed to rewire every part of how I think and feel.

2008— Printing industry — first steps in software
Microcontrollers & embedded systems
Automotive — scale and complexity
Now Travel tech — where I currently build
