I am a final-year Computer Engineering student at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Class of 2026) and a Software Engineering Intern at Flutter UK & Ireland (Betfair Romania Development).

I specialize in designing resilient backend systems and distributed architectures. My passion lies in bridging the gap between low-level system operations and scalable, user-centric applications, whether through Java Spring Boot microservices, Event Streaming, or Cloud Infrastructure.

I am currently developing my Bachelor's thesis, a Full Stack CV & Job Management Platform, designed to revolutionize technical recruitment using NLP and semantic skill-matching.

• Architecture: Robust REST API built with Java 21 & Spring Boot 3.5, backed by PostgreSQL and paired with a modern React 19 + Vite frontend.
• Intelligent Analysis: Implements automated text extraction from binary files (PDF/DOCX) combined with PII sanitization using RegEx and Apache OpenNLP for data privacy.
• Skill Graph Inference: Engineered a custom inference engine mapping 202 IT skills (Backend, Frontend, AI, DevOps). It provides explainable matching by filtering noise and applying directional relationships (e.g., Flask -> Python) with confidence decay for highly accurate candidate screening.
• Security & Reliability: Secured via role-based JWT Authentication and local storage persistence, utilizing LocalCvStorageService to securely handle and retrieve document binaries without exposing sensitive data.

Software Engineering Intern @ Flutter UK & Ireland (Betfair Romania Development) (Mar 2026 - Present)

• Observability: Migrating operational dashboards and metric visualizations from Grafana to Splunk, centralizing system monitoring workflows.
• Event-Driven Architecture: Actively developing capabilities in event streaming with Apache Kafka and Java Concurrency to support high-performance, real-time backend systems.

DevOps Engineering Intern @ BMW TechWorks Romania (Dec 2025 - Feb 2026)

• Automation: Automated the Maven build and Docker containerization of layered applications.
• CI/CD: Engineered continuous deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, successfully publishing images to the GitHub Container Registry.

Software Engineering Intern @ Frequentis (Jul 2025 - Dec 2025)

• Architecture: Engineered an SNMP metrics gateway in a hexagonal architecture streaming real-time telemetry (200 metrics/s) from 40+ devices.
• Resilience: Hardened configuration with JAXB/XSD validation and increased reliability by cutting regression time by 40% using JUnit 5/Mockito.
• Telemetry: Exposed operational data via Prometheus and published change events over AMQP, enabling downstream dashboard processing.

Lead Cybersecurity Educator @ Google.org (Feb 2025 - Jun 2025)

• Led hands-on seminars on Phishing detection and Authentication (MFA, Password Hardening) for 22+ members.
• Developed reusable training checklists and assessed organizational security postures.

A complex microservices-based platform designed to monitor smart grids.

• Stack: Java Spring Boot, React, Docker, PostgreSQL.
• Architecture: Synchronous REST communication routed through a centralized security gateway (JWT) and asynchronous event-driven pipelines.
• Resilience: Configured NGINX load balancing and implemented database replication for high availability under variable workloads.

High-performance concurrent queue simulator.

• Stack: Java, Concurrency (Threads, Locks, Semaphores).
• Performance: Implemented ExecutorService, BlockingQueue, and CountDownLatch primitives to ensure safe multi-threaded execution.
• Metrics: Achieved measurable reductions in average wait time compared to naive FIFO implementations.

A decentralized volunteer recognition system built on Ethereum.

• Stack: Solidity, React, Hardhat, IPFS, OpenZeppelin.
• Innovation: Issues non-transferable "Soul-Bound" tokens (SBTs) to volunteers for immutable proof of work with GDPR-compliant off-chain data.
