About

Thanks for stopping by. Read below to learn more about myself and my background.

Background

Hello there! I'm Stefan, a senior software developer from Romania, now living in the United Kingdom. With over 13 years of experience, I am passionate about building enterprise applications. Nothing excites me more than tackling a client's problem head-on and selecting the best programming language for the job.

Challenges are my driving force. Solving a coding problem is like working on a Rubik's Cube—engaging and stimulating. After long hours of coding, a good puzzle can reinvigorate my mind.

Despite my love for puzzles, I take my work seriously. Every project is an opportunity to grow as a developer, and I always aim to deliver the best solution. Be it PHP, Python, or any other language, I'm ready for the challenge and eager to showcase my skills.

If you're looking for a dedicated developer ready to dive into your coding problems, look no further. Let's work together on your next project and achieve great results!

Passions

As a senior backend engineer, I am extremely passionate about using technology for good. I firmly believe that technology has the power to make the world a better place, and I am committed to using my skills to contribute to positive change in society.

Throughout my career, I have worked on a variety of projects, but the ones that truly excite me are those with a social impact. I enjoy working on projects that aim to solve real-world problems, such as improving access to education or healthcare, reducing carbon emissions, or promoting social justice.

I strongly believe that it is our responsibility as technologists to use our skills for good. We have the power to create tools and systems that can transform the lives of people around the world, and we should use that power to make a positive impact. Whether it's building a platform that connects students with mentors, developing software to help farmers increase crop yields, or creating an app that promotes sustainable living, I am always eager to take on projects that make a difference.

In addition to my technical skills, I am also a strong believer in collaboration and teamwork. I believe that the best results are achieved when people work together towards a common goal. I enjoy working with other engineers, designers, and stakeholders to ensure that we are delivering the best possible solutions for our users.
