Entrepreneurs mind.
Builder’s instinct.

I’m Octavian, a founder, CTO and software architect. I turn ambitious ideas into working products — connecting business, technology and the people who use it.

Hands-on experience across web applications, APIs and data infrastructure.

02 / HOW I WORK

Bold challenges.
Pragmatic delivery.

01

Product & business

Find the right problem.

Product thinking grounded in a business case. What matters to users, what makes commercial sense and what is worth building next.

02

Architecture & engineering

Build with intention.

Architecture that supports the product. From the interface to the API, data flow and infrastructure, every decision should earn its place.

03

Leadership & delivery

Keep the team close.

Small, experienced teams. Direct conversations. Clear ownership. I believe the best work happens when the people making decisions also understand the details.

TOOLS CHANGE. CURIOSITY STAYS.

TypeScript / React / Node.js / SQL / Cloud architecture

03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Feet on the ground.
Mind out exploring.

Octavian.

An economist by education and a self-taught programmer, I’ve always been interested in how things work — and how to make them work better.

That curiosity took me from building games to founding Fan Arena, and from writing code to helping organisations solve their problems with technology. I’m most at home where a business challenge meets a technical one.

Away from the screen, you’ll often find me out for a run, playing a board game with my daughter or exploring somewhere new in my campervan. A change of perspective usually brings a better idea.
