My life's journey to become a Java Software Engineer : - born in Moldova I started my IT addiction at a young age with my IBM 386 PC on DOS and windows 3.1 with continuous upgrades and coding in Basic and Pascal. - attended High School Student Institute of Mathematics and Informatics in Bucharest (Romania) learning algorithms and data structures with C language. Here I also attended CISCO Academy for CCNA certification. For fun I started writing my first HTML pages for static websites. - I studied Software Engineering at Polytechnic Institute of Turin (Italy) and started my Java experience soon after university on my first wok place. - my Java Software Engineer path started within automotive industry in Turin as business analyst and working mostly on backend development and ERP enhancements. - after that I moved to Milan working for a well known telecommunication company as Java EE developer - in Milan I ended up in a group of highly specialized companies, which support leading industrial groups in defining and developing business models to optimize and integrate processes, applications and devices, using new technology. For the next three years I focused my skills and acquired extensive working experience in banking, finance and eCommerce area, enhancing my Front End skills and becoming Senior Java Full Stack developer. - for the last five years I'm living in Frankfurt, Germany working again in automotive industry as a Java Full Stack developer, Project Leader and Salesforce Business Analyst. - during this time I picked up hobbies outside IT world like Marine Aquarium, Race Cycling and a very green thumb.
