Birth

Born in a small city from Romania

In the same year I was born, a lot of stuff happened: the domain apple.com comes online, Microsoft and IBM release OS/2 1.0., Microsoft introduces Windows 2.0, but most important of all Whitney Houston releases the song "I wanna dance with somebody". I mean...this is not just a coincidence, believe me! When I hear this song I just can't sit down...it's madness! Anyway...

Well... certainly my birth was not a usual one. You know, when the family sees the baby they start saying things like: "He is soooo cute" or "Look how small he is", well, when I came out they said: "He clearly will be a web developer". You may ask yourselves why? Because since then I was moving my fingers like I was having an invisible keyboard in front.

High School

Technic college for me

Of course, I got my first PC when I was 8 years old but, but in the early years nothing spectacular happened.

For sure, things started to move in high school. In the first day of high school, my info teacher got in the class room and said: "Today we'll start learning Turbo Pascal...and God knows when we'll finish".

The info classes were interesting when I was not on the football field. Football was an important part of my life in those years. I was in tournaments in Belgium, Austria, Germany, having a great time on the ground.

Learning Turbo Pascal finished in the same time with high school. But it is said that when one door closes another one opens, and let me tell you: this is true!

In the same year I've started to attend the IT classes of the Faculty of Informatics.

University

Faculty of Computer Science

Over the next three years I've learnt the foundations of programming and some programming languages such as C, C++, C#, Java or PHP. It was not easy, but you know how the student life can be: one moment you are losing your head trying to learn for the exams, and in the next moment the exams disappear and you go out with your buddies having a good time together. Anyway, this was the time when I truly started to understand that I was going to be a WEB developer and I've worked hard to be a pretty good one. And in my last year of college I got my first part-time job as a junior programmer.

After I graduated college, I continued to improve my skills, and so I got a new job... But after one year I've decided it's time to get a Master degree for Marketing, Negotiations and PR. This must have been a good decision because, for two years, I've learnt about marketing, management, negotiations, international relations, and a lot of concepts that made me see the things different. Now I get in touch with different people from all over the world making their ideas come alive.

Testimonial:

Andrei is a wonderfully talented developer. He really just gets it. His coding is first class but he also intuitively understands usability and design. Having dealt with many developers in the past, I used to always cringe as they would muck designs up, create silly bugs and then be a hugely tedious process to fix. But with Andrei he almost always gets it first time, or otherwise quickly and accurately makes changes. He is supremely professional, but also very likeable as he is such a friendly and genuine guy. He certainly never stops until you are 100% happy. So I would say Andrei is a rare talent and a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Richard Fuessel, Client

Centre Stage Artist Management + VISIT

Testimonial:

Universal Music approached me with the task of building an artist presentation website, with fully controlable administrative features. Again, Andrei proved to be on top of his game. Aside from the fact that frontend development turned out exactly how I imagined it, he also created a great backend administrative module, providing exactly what the client needed, down to the tiniest of details. He's great!

Razvan Garofeanu, Designer

A very nice website built on a light PHP framework (developed by me, as well). All the user profiles, image, audio and video galleries are administrated using a custom backend console.
