HELLO, I'M
RĂZVAN

Here's who I am & what I build.

RESUME ↗PROJECTS

I'm a Computer Engineering student at University Politehnica of Bucharest. I enjoy building things end to end — from REST APIs to Rust firmware.

01 / ABOUT

CURIOUS BY NATURE.

I like understanding systems end to end: the code behind a request, the data it touches and the hardware it can run on.

So far I've worked with Java, Spring Boot, Rust, C++, SQL databases and Linux, through university, a backend bootcamp and personal projects. I'm open to junior roles across software development, backend, embedded and systems, anywhere I can learn from a good team and contribute.
