Senior full-stack developer at SunPhoto.ro, modernizing its PHP platform with Symfony, React and TypeScript.

Romania

Message

At SunPhoto.ro, I’m rebuilding a 20-year-old PHP platform in Symfony, React and TypeScript. The new version is in public beta alongside a live site serving nearly 2 million page views a month, and I’m the sole developer across architecture, redesign, API and deployment.

I founded SunPhoto.ro and grew it into one of Romania’s 200 most-visited websites. At its peak, the platform handled about 3 million photo uploads a month, and I designed and ran its system on two load-balanced servers.

At Oves Enterprise, I owned key modules for Civocracy, from requirements to production, and built features including single sign-on and multilingual support. I also co-founded Notis.ro, an online gradebook used by over 100 schools and about 50,000 students over its lifetime.
