Systems and infrastructure work at Romania's national broadcaster, plus a small hosting and AI company on the side (PhotonSpark).
📍 Bucharest, Romania
🎓 CS @ Politehnica Bucharest (UPB ACS CTI)
💼 Sysadmin @ RADIOCOM · CTO & Founder @ PhotonSpark (AS216249)
🎯 Targeting SRE, DevOps, and Infrastructure roles
I build software for the web, iOS, Android, and Wear OS smart watches, and I run a small home network and lab to keep learning.
Day to day, I administer Linux servers and Cisco networking gear at work, and I spend most of my side-project time on a self-hosted AI assistant (chat, voice, and a coding helper), an email service, and a small web-hosting platform.
