I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in WordPress and Next.js development and database design, as well as a passion for creating impactful, user-focused solutions. I thrive on solving complex problems and driving technological innovation.
With 5 years of experience in JavaScript technologies, specializing in Next.js, and Node.js, I've developed comprehensive solutions across databases, storage, user management, and data analysis. My work includes building fast websites, alongside managing personal SaaS projects focused on innovation and creativity. I have implemented solutions that involved APIs from YouTube, Google Drive, One Drive, Google Maps, and other smaller web services.
I specialize in WordPress development across plugins, theme customization, and functionalities for e-commerce and data-driven applications. My work includes API integrations, site migrations, and custom solutions, with a strong commitment to WPCS standards, best practices, and internationalization.
I developed mobile and web applications using React, created custom websites with Laravel and WordPress, and implemented scalable RESTful APIs with NestJS.

In October 2018, I became a WordPress General Translation Editor for the Romanian locale, managing translation suggestions for the WordPress core, plugins, themes, and other projects within the community. Five months later, I joined the WP-Translations.PRO team, where I contribute to elevating translation efforts to an enterprise level for big WordPress projects.
I specialized in customizing WordPress themes and developing plugins tailored to client requirements, ensuring seamless functionality and user satisfaction. Additionally, I built my first React application during this time, broadening my expertise in delivering innovative, client-centric solutions.

Custom platform for a real estate agency that allows multiple agents to manage their properties. The biggest challenge was to address the optimization and loading of property photos into storage in real time, without exceeding the latency limits offered by Vercel. I integrated the TinyPNG API and used Cloudflare Workers and Supabase storage to solve this situation.
WordPress website created for a non-governmental association that organizes basketball training for children of different ages.

Măslinescu connects Romanian consumers with the world's finest extra virgin olive oil producers.

This package is the result of my passion and openness to open-source software. I had to implement this service many times in my projects, and almost every time, I had to deal with a headache due to the poor documentation and the non-standard "REST API" provided by EuPlătesc. This package covers all the actions provided in the EuPlătesc documentation. It can be used either as a CommonJS or ES module.
Custom platform for electric bike rental. Built with Next.js, it integrates the Supabase database, authentication, storage, and real-time request solutions.

The first import of properties and agents was accomplished using custom WP-CLI commands. Subsequent synchronization is maintained using webhooks, also implemented in the plugin. The website is still using my solution for syncing their data between CRM and WordPress.
