Hi, I'm Bogdan.

A software engineer in Cluj-Napoca. I design, build and run production systems on my own, end to end.

I take a problem from a whiteboard to something that runs every day.

Architecture, code, the cloud it runs on, the pipeline that ships it, and what happens at 3 a.m. when an API it depends on goes down.

Open to new work

Software Engineer at Automatify

B2B, contract or full-time

Cluj-Napoca, Romania

English, professional · Romanian, native

I build software the way I'd want it built for me: carefully, end to end, and made to last. Curious by default, from driving a competition robot to running AI systems in production.

How I work

What you get when you work with me.

One owner, end to end.

Requirements, architecture, code, release, support. I've shipped production systems as the only engineer on them, so I design for the person who gets paged. That person is me.

Boring in production.

Retries, idempotency, structured logs. The exciting part should be what the system does, never how it fails.

Clear with everyone.

Three years client-facing, in English, explaining technical decisions to people who aren't technical. What clients praised was the clarity.

Still a student.

A Master's at Babeș-Bolyai, Go certifications on the side, Rust for fun. I'd rather learn the layer underneath than trust it blindly.

On my desk

What I'm building right now.

A Vendor Invoice Manager, with AI as the decision-maker

Invoices arrive by email. A model reads them, decides which rule applies and who approves, and the result is booked in Dynamics 365. I'm building all of it.

Contract archiving and a digital point of sale

For a retail client: scanned contracts are read, matched and archived on the Dynamics side without anyone retyping them.

Both are mine from architecture to deployment. Client names stay private.
