Profile

Next.js and Firebase developer in Bucharest. Since 2025 I build complete web apps on my own, from the first design to launch: over forty projects so far, including Stoma App, my own software for dental clinics. Of the 14 apps below, all run on Next.js and 13 on Firebase. Before that, seven years of WordPress for agencies and international clients, three of them as lead developer at a health marketing agency.
