About me

A bit about
who I am

I'm Cristian, a Senior Full Stack & AI Engineer with 11+ years of experience building production-grade software for European clients — primarily in Germany. I hold a BSc in Computer Science from West University of Timisoara.

My career spans large-scale e-commerce (Mercedes-Benz, Eppendorf AG), AI-driven automation pipelines (Wernsing Order AI), precious metals digital platforms (Tradium), and mobile apps (Tazz). I'm comfortable owning entire workstreams — from API design and database architecture to AWS deployment and on-call maintenance.

Recently I've been focused on LLM-powered pipelines and multi-tenant AI products, integrating OpenAI, Llama and orchestration tools like Mastra and N8N into real production environments.

Not only was he always there to get things done and improve the services we were responsible for, but he was also dedicated to doing it right. You could entrust him with a task and he would gather the necessary information from various sources in order to solve it. I would work with him again anytime.
