An architect of systems that think, act and compound.
I design and build AI systems for companies that want durable, measurable leverage — not demos. My practice sits at the intersection of automation, applied intelligence, engineering craft and entrepreneurial thinking, and it is guided by one habit: relentless curiosity paired with the discipline to ship.
A decade of building — from live-service scale to AI systems.
Each chapter compounds into the next. The through-line: designing feedback loops and shipping systems that survive contact with real operations.

Founder & AI Automation Architect
AI Automation GarageFounded an independent AI automation practice designing and shipping enterprise-grade agent systems — treating AI as core infrastructure, not a surface feature, so operators can cut cost, remove bottlenecks and scale without adding headcount.
- Lead end-to-end delivery of production AI systems — strategy, architecture, engineering, integration and post-launch optimisation — for real operating businesses.
- Ship voice AI receptionists, intelligent scheduling and customer-interaction automations integrated with telephony, CRM, calendars, payments and third-party APIs.
- Set the enterprise bar for reliability, data protection and uptime — production systems, not experiments.
- Direct product, brand positioning and conversion-focused UX for the studio's own platforms while retaining full technical control of backend logic and automation pipelines.

Founder & Operator
eAbonamente.shop — Digital SubscriptionsFounded and operate an e-commerce brand selling premium digital subscriptions to the Romanian market — full ownership of product, storefront, payments, fulfilment automation, customer experience and growth. A working case study in building and running a digital business end-to-end.
- Designed and shipped the storefront, checkout and post-purchase automation from scratch — no team, no external agency.
- Automated fulfilment for hundreds of monthly orders, eliminating manual delivery work and enabling the business to run unattended.
- Grew brand and revenue through organic content, community trust and a customer-experience standard rare in the category.
- Handles every operational discipline personally: product, brand, marketing, support, finance — the discipline that now underwrites every client system I ship.

Software Quality Assurance Tester
Electronic Arts — Quality Verification EABShipped globally distributed live-service titles at Electronic Arts, owning quality gates that protected launches used by millions of players. Built the operational discipline that now underwrites every AI system I deliver.
- Contributed to global releases including FIFA World Cup 2022, FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, EA SPORTS FC 25 Ultimate Team and the FC 25 / FC 26 Companion apps.
- Recognised at the FC 25 Town Hall for the highest volume of reported issues on the project — 250+ defects surfaced in under six months.
- Owned QSPR workflows across quality, stability, performance and reliability, including framerate analysis and cross-platform benchmarking that shaped optimisation priorities.
- Mentored and onboarded new hires into QV tooling, processes and release workflows — compounding team capacity beyond individual output.

Independent Coach & Programme Designer
Freelance Practice — RomaniaRan an independent coaching practice for seven years — a first business built on personalised programming, measurable outcomes and long-term client retention. The foundation for how I now design systems around real human behaviour.
- Built and retained a private client base through outcome-driven programming and disciplined performance tracking.
- Designed individualised training and nutrition systems calibrated to each client's goals, physiology and lifestyle constraints.
- Operated as a solo business — acquisition, delivery, retention and continuous methodology upgrades.

Formal study, continuous practice.
A mix of formal foundations and a relentless independent curriculum — because the field moves faster than any single institution.
University
Coaching, Pedagogy & Performance
Training theory and practice across twelve disciplines, didactics and applied pedagogy — the foundations of how I now design systems that teach, coach and coordinate people.
Sports Management & Operations
Strategic planning, organisational leadership, HR, event operations and sports marketing — the same operating lens I bring to running an AI automation studio.
Human Physiology & Biomechanics
Bioenergetics, movement analysis, injury prevention and performance testing — a systems view of the human body that shaped how I model complex systems in general.
Certifications
Web Development Essentials
Certificates of completion across the core web foundations — the baseline layer beneath every product surface I ship today.
Courses
Applied AI & LLM Engineering
Structured self-directed study across model providers, agent frameworks, retrieval and evaluation — kept current with the pace of the field.
AI Automation & Systems Integration
End-to-end automation across the platforms that real businesses actually run on — telephony, CRM, calendars, payments and third-party APIs.
Voice AI & Conversational Agents
Deep focus on production voice agents — latency, turn-taking, tool use and the operational patterns that make voice reliable in real deployments.
Workshops
Enterprise QA & Release Engineering
Internal training and hands-on practice across global title launches — the discipline of shipping software that millions of people use on day one.
AI Product Cohorts
Small-group, high-signal cohorts with practitioners shipping AI in production — a compounding source of taste and pattern recognition.
Future learning
Distributed AI Systems & Infrastructure
Deepening the infrastructure layer beneath modern AI products — orchestration, evaluation and scale.
AI Safety, Evaluation & Governance
Formal study of the practices that make AI trustworthy in enterprise contexts — evaluation harnesses, guardrails and governance.

How I work, in five principles.
These are professional commitments, not personality traits. They are the filter I apply to every engagement, decision and line of code.
- 01
Systems Thinking
Every problem is a system. I trace the loops, name the constraints and design where the leverage actually lives — not where it feels obvious.
- 02
Continuous Improvement
Small, compounding refinements beat heroic rewrites. I build systems with the seams that make tomorrow's improvements cheap.
- 03
Business Impact
Technology is only interesting when it moves a number that matters. I start from unit economics and operator workflows, then design backwards.
- 04
Long-Term Engineering
I write software as if I'll maintain it in five years — because someone will. Legibility, observability and boring choices where they belong.
- 05
Craftsmanship
Detail is not decoration. It is the signal that tells clients, partners and users the whole system was designed with intent.
A quieter frame.
A rotating selection of portraits — because behind every system is a person choosing how it should feel.
If any of this resonates, let's talk.
The best engagements start with a real conversation — not a form.
