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
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.
TF3-RO: Training and Compressing a Romanian Model from Scratch
The tokenizer, 51.65M-parameter model, compressed student, and Romanian-native generation pipeline released with TF3-RO.
TF2: Open Models for English–Romanian Literary Translation
The model, 15K reference set, and three-million-pair corpus released with the TF2 preprint.
