Staying close to the implementation.
I started as a software developer and later moved through CTO, operations, and managing-director roles. Today I lead Computacenter Romania. Alongside that role, I am a founding partner and CEO of N13 Ventures and pursue a PhD in artificial intelligence at Babeș-Bolyai University.
This is where I keep the technical work: small Romanian language models, public emulator fixes, reproducible machine configurations, and notes on what the tests actually show.
Selected work
Start here
The 2.4M-Parameter Model Won—Until the Text Got Noisy
Romanian diacritic restoration changes winners when clean benchmark text gives way to typos and OCR-like corruption.
Change One Slot, Watch What Else Moves
A paired intervention test separates response to a requested field from leakage into a field that should stay fixed.
Three Emulator Bugs, Three Different Tests
Printer output, audio hardware, and memory bookkeeping needed different tests—and the same discipline about what each fix established.
A Defensive Ollama Client for Local Judge Inference
A corrected native Ollama API example with schema-constrained output, non-streaming responses, timeouts, parsing, and validation.
