Hi, I’m Alex, I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Bucharest, Romania.
I have experience across multiple fields, including:
Beyond my professional work, I am actively involved in teaching and knowledge-sharing activities. I deliver courses and workshops on Java, Spring, React, Software Architecture, Databases and other topics, and I also organize and lead workshops focused on Machine Learning. I also participate as a speaker at conferences, where I present research topics related to the intersection of Machine Learning and web development. Some of my research and personal projects are showcased on this website.
Since childhood, I’ve been passionate about everything related to computers, electronics, and engineering — from airplanes and cars to spaceships and military technology.
I have over six years of experience in software development, working on both enterprise-level solutions and research-driven projects. Along the way, I’ve also collaborated as a freelancer on a variety of custom software initiatives. Currently, I am part of ING, where I continue to explore new ways to integrate modern technologies into real-world applications. In 2023, I also earned the Financial Markets Professional Certificate from the University of Amsterdam.
On the academic side, I graduated as valedictorian in 2022 with a degree in Computer Science from the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Faculty of Engineering in Foreign Languages. I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Business Administration and Engineering at the same faculty. Now, I am pursuing a PhD at the University Politehnica of Bucharest, with research focused on applying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to traditional fields like web development, aiming to drive innovation and enhance user and developer experiences.Beyond work and research, I am passionate about science and technology, with interests ranging from cars and airplanes to computer science. I also enjoy spending time in nature, traveling, following Formula 1, football, and other sports, watching movies, and listening to good music.

The main objective of CareProfSys is to validate and test the concept of a smart Career Path Profiling System by implementing it in an observed environment - CCOC UPB. The system is based on the analysis of several data sources (social networks, educational background, psychological tests), which are input for the "Romanian Occupations Classification" (COR) ontology-based recommendation algorithm (developed within the project).

EYEFIT is an app that aids centration and enables both front and side measurements to be
taken, reaching a level of precision not possible with traditional ways of measuring.
As well as inter-pupillary distance and frame measurements, it can also measure
half-distances, pantoscopic angle, making this a highly effective tool particularly when
progressive lenses are being dispensed, where extreme precision is what guarantees
maximum visual comfort for wearers.

Discover Romania was an app that I developed in 2016 for a national prgramming contest,
with the purpose to provide a tourist guide for the travellers who want to visit
Romania, by showng them the most beautiful places in the country, toghether with other
useful information about our culture.
By using the Google Speech to Text API, the app allowed people to navigate through the
app both by the classical interface, and by voice commands, like saying the name of the
page where they want to navigate.
The app was developed using Intel XDK, based on Cordova and Framework 7.
Discover Romania was awarded the Silver Medal at the InfoMatrix national contest

This app was developed in 2019 in order to help the fight against the pandemic.
The main idea of the app, was to warn the users if they had contact with somebody who
was infected with COVID19 in the last 14 days, and to help the authorities to isolate
those contacts faster, to break the chain of transmission.
All the data was stores locally on the user's device, and in the case of a positive
COVID test, it would be uploaded to a server, so that his/her contacts can receive a
notification

WAID is a technology demonstrator that I built in 2019, in order to show how a website
could be controlled without touching the mouse or keyboard, all the controls were given
only by hand gestures in front of the camera, or by voice commands. WAID was also
capable of responding to the user by using a text to speech API.
There are multiple possible use cases for this application, like for example enhanced
aceesibility for blind persons, hands free computer control, etc
This project was just a demonstrator, but the algorithm that I used for WAID to detect
hand gestures later became the base of the EyeFit research project computer vision part.
