About Me

I'm an 18-year-old builder from Brașov, passionate about bridging the gap between hardware and software. I create innovative solutions that solve real-world problems through robotics, embedded systems, and IoT development.

My Journey

My passion for technology started with a simple Scratch course in 2017, but it quickly evolved into something much bigger. What began as curiosity about how things work has transformed into a life-long obsession with both hardware and software development.

I’m proud to have been part of competitive robotics teams like Kronbot FTC and ParkFlow, and create projects such as Omnicut, Marcel, and ARC. These experiences taught me valuable lessons and inspired me to keep exploring the endless possibilities of technology.
