What I'm looking for

I'm looking for frontend team lead or technical lead roles at product companies where frontend architecture drives the business, or contract engagements in design systems, legacy-to-React migrations, and AI-assisted delivery pipelines. I'm open to hybrid and remote work.

I'm a founder and hands-on architect based in Moldova, working European hours (UTC+3, near-full overlap with the EU, morning overlap with US East).

What I do: turn a vague business problem into a written specification, then into shipped software. My work is spec-driven — every change starts as a proposal, a design and a task list in the client's repo, so the system and its documentation stay with them and keep working without me.

I build daily in TypeScript, React 19, Next.js 16, Tailwind 4, Postgres/Supabase, Cloudflare Workers, and the Anthropic Claude API for agent orchestration. I run one monorepo end-to-end: architecture, database, infrastructure, CI, design system, trilingual i18n (EN/RO/RU) and deployment — plus a multi-agent CLI that plans and executes changes against a living specification corpus, an internal workspace app, and the public platform.

Beyond application code I handle EU and Moldovan data-protection compliance (GDPR, Law 195/2024) as an engineering problem rather than paperwork, and technical bid work for public-sector procurement.

I'm open to senior remote engagements — AI and agent architecture, AI-layer design for an existing product, or a full platform build — as a contractor through my own company, or as a direct hire where the role is open to Moldova.
