Quickleaf Technologies

Oct 2021 - Jul 2022Full Stack Developer

Worked on a retail marketing app that allows a customer to automate and integrate their campaigns on all social media platforms.

Worked in a Agile team of 5 devs based in Cluj and Amsterdam, in close relations with the stakeholders and the marketing team.

I had the opportunity to be involved, learn, implement and maintain the application architecture, as well as getting a good understanding of the full development lifecycle.

Along the process, my main focus was front-end oriented, implementing the designs along with its requested changes, but often having backend responsibilities as well.

Designed and translated VueJS components into high quality code, maintaining a scalable, and optimized architecture.

Maintained and improved existing database, optimized data flows, integrate APIs and created automation scripts for various processes.

Followed design patterns, good practices, provided feedback and kept the documentation up to date, keen on traceability.

Drafting periodic demos, negotiated feature implementation, possible optimizations and reworks.

Deployed, tested and tried to achieve a seamless running application, responsive in fixing possible bugs and later feature requests.

AROBS Transilvania Software

May 2017 - Dec 2020Embedded Software Developer

Worked in several outsourcing projects for automotive industry, taking part in multi-national teams of over 200 devs.

Got in touch with most of the roles required for such projects, ranging from coding, planning, managing and designing of products.

Analyzed bug reports and developed suitable software patches for modules I was in charge of.

Involved in the latest feature updates, including developing, integration, testing, performance measurements, fixing stability issues and improving the overall workflow by enhancing the process automation.

Updated legacy code to newest standards, adapting modules to new frameworks.

Implement and design new features using Autosar.

Created and maintained thorough code documentation and traceability, vital for high-prio components and safety ADAS features.

Developed and integrated a remote communication module, capable of monitoring, configuring and analyzing car telemetry data in real time. (Linux, C++, MQTT)

Worked close with the stakeholders in order to design, implement and deliver the automotive micro controller

Apr 2017 - May 2017Internship

Enrolled in an Internship camp during 2nd year of University, I developed a remote controlled toy-car using a RaspberryPi and several STM32s microcontrollers.

I took on a hands-on practical approach of every process involved in a usual project, cycling through electronic fundamentals, HW design, low level programming, up to creating the user interface, the client-server infrastructure and designing custom communication protocols.

Portfolio

Home automation project

Linux, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, MQTT, Python

I've designed and implemented a server on a RaspberryPi which handles many features around my house such as lights, heating/cooling system, alarm system, coffee maker, door locks, window curtains, intercom and plenty others using sensors, actuators through a web interface. The RaspberryPi communicates with the wifi enabled arduinos through MQTT protocol and the dashboard interaction is made via a Flask web server. Integration with Siri/Google/Alexa is also available.

Telegram bot - Personal Assistant

ESP32, C++

I used the Telegram bot API installed on several ESP32 microcontrollers in order to create a flexible interface through which I can read sensors data or interact with switches without the need of a centralized server or a tailored interface.

SmartBuilding monitor and control

Linux, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, MQTT, Python

Originally a degree project, I am now working on a product that uses a RaspberryPi as a central hub, allowing multiple remote modules to address the complex needs a modern office building such as: Controlled access using RFID tags which acts as a employer time-logger, Energy efficiency topics such as power consumption monitoring, automatic light dimmers, heating and ventilation controller, parking management system and many others.

Karting Track - Telematics

Linux, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, MQTT, Python

I am developing a solution for a karting circuit that allows controlling and monitoring the karts in real time, centralizing data such as speed, position, engine rotations, temperature, usage pattern, enabling a comprehensive report about the laps, as well as the possibility to remotely control the parameters of each individual kart. Beside the karts, many other amenities of the venue are well integrated: appointment manager, track lights system, garage features, consumption meter, etc.

Programming

Low level and High level programming, from microcontrollers handling sensors on a real-time operating system, up to creating robust WebSites or different data logistic platforms

Automations

Designing and implementing any kind of automation projects, home appliances, efficient factory automation sollutions, medical monitoring

SFX

I like making all kind of props involved in arts and special effects, such as models, remote controlled events, mechanical actuations and serialised triggered events .

Crafting

As my hardware projects wouldn't be complete without an enclosure to morph into the surroundings, I take my time designing and crafting the needed parts, such as mechanical systems, wooden furniture and all sorts of appliances.
