Summary
I have worked in an outsourcing company for 10 years, contributing to around four major projects. My experience covers frontend development with Angular and backend development with Spring Boot and Quarkus. In nearly all projects, I was actively involved in CI/CD pipelines and containerization processes.
I strongly believe in the agile mindset and have consistently promoted and implemented agile principles across all projects I’ve been part of.
In addition, I have trained over 50 young professionals through the company’s Software Academy sessions, with more than 80% of them now working in IT for well-known companies in Romania.
