Salut!

You’ve somehow landed on my website, so welcome!
My name is Dragoș and in my day-to-day I do software and mobile development.

Some of the things I care about: user experience and the value my work can bring to people, working in healthy, effective and autonomous teams, advocating for positive social change and diversity & inclusion.

Fields I worked in either directly or while being a consultant:
telecommunications, public health, education, automotive, e-commerce, travel.

In my free time I enjoy playing games, riding my bicycle and:

Building KINN
