I am Mihai Dan Nadăș. My papers and open-source work usually appear under the shorter form, Mihai Nadăș.

Today I lead Computacenter Romania. Alongside that role, I am a founding partner and CEO of N13 Ventures. The chronology below shows how that operating work grew out of engineering and now runs in parallel with doctoral research and open source.

One continuous technical thread

  1. 2006 onward

    Software engineering

    Development, architecture, project delivery, CTO, and operations.

  2. 2021 onward

    Operating roles

    Managing Director, Computacenter Romania.
    Founding Partner & CEO, N13 Ventures.

  3. 2023 onward

    Doctoral research

    PhD in artificial intelligence at Babeș-Bolyai University.

  4. In parallel

    Public engineering

    Romanian language models, PC emulation, and reproducible experiments.

The operating roles continue alongside the PhD and public engineering work.

Research and open source are how I stay close to implementation and test ideas in public. My doctoral work follows controlled narratives from English generation through English–Romanian translation to compact Romanian models trained from scratch. A parallel line examines Romanian diacritic restoration and open-weight models as evaluators. The Research page maps the papers and released artifacts.

Outside NLP, I contribute fixes to PC emulation software and maintain experiments around reproducible virtual machines. The public record includes merged upstream changes, focused regression tests, versioned machine definitions, and short experiment reports.

Running software organizations changed what I expect from technical work: another person should be able to see what failed, reproduce it, and decide whether the result is sufficient. The projects here are built around that standard.

This site contains the technical record that does not fit cleanly into a CV, paper, or patch. Only released results are described as results; reconstructed notes are marked as retrospectives. It is a personal site and does not speak for either organization. LinkedIn carries the fuller operating history.
