About me

Senior full-stack contractor with 17+ years shipping TypeScript, Vue.js, React, React Native, Node.js & Laravel. Fully remote & async. I pick up existing codebases fast or build from scratch, leveraging AI (Claude, Cursor) to accelerate delivery. Open to contracts. contact@handcraftsoftware.ro

I build and ship full-stack products end to end. My main stack is TypeScript, Vue.js 3, React, React Native, Node.js and Laravel, backed by PostgreSQL or MySQL.

On the frontend I work with Vue 3 Composition API, Quasar, Tailwind and modern build pipelines. For mobile I ship React Native apps to both stores.

On the backend I design REST APIs, set up repository-pattern architectures, and handle database design, migrations and query optimization.

I am comfortable jumping into an existing codebase, reading the structure, and shipping production features within days. Equally happy starting greenfield and making the early technical decisions that do not hurt later.

My last contract was a UK hospitality platform: a React Native customer app, a tablet kiosk system now licensed internationally, and a Node.js/PostgreSQL backend migrated to clean architecture. Before that I have worked across ecommerce, SaaS and internal tooling — mostly remote, mostly async, since 2017.

I use AI-assisted tooling (Claude, Cursor) to move faster on boilerplate and testing, not to skip thinking. I write tests where they matter: unit with Jest/Vitest, integration with Cypress/Playwright, and I set up CI/CD so deploys are boring.

Infrastructure-wise I handle Docker, AWS basics, nginx, and whatever glue is needed to get code running in production without manual steps.

I work through my Romanian SRL, invoice monthly, and communicate in English.
