About

The sport of cycling is not always about winning — it's often about managing disappointment. It has taught me resilience and consistency, values I apply in all areas of my life.

Hi, I'm Georgian, a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in Java-based backend solutions. Based in Cluj-Napoca, I'm passionate about building reliable software and thrive around critical-thinking teams.

In my spare time, I primarily ride and race bikes, lift weights, hike, ski tour, and explore various technical and non-technical topics to expand my knowledge.

As a dog owner, I'm also a strong advocate for animal welfare.

I'm always open to new challenges and collaborations, while staying committed to my ongoing projects.
