I like to make things simple and fast

What I do

Experienced software developer across design, build, testing and maintenance — from embedded systems to distributed web platforms. Equally comfortable self-managing an independent project or working inside a team.

10kconcurrent users served

How I build it

Scalable APIs in Python and Node, React front ends, CI/CD on Azure DevOps and GitLab, clusters running on Kubernetes. Lately a lot of custom AI: RAG, vector storage, OpenAI and Azure.

20mindeploys, down from 5 hours

Who I do it with

I work directly with clients to turn vague requirements into something shipped. Led an engineering team through a rebuild that moved customer retention from 50% to 80%. Currently Full Stack Engineer at Sugar Software, Chișinău.

80%customer retention, up from 50%

Two halves of the job

Applied AI on one side, running the delivery on the other. Most of my work lives where they overlap.

Applied AI

AI as a worker, not a chatbot

Give it tools, context, permissions and an objective, and let it run an actual business process.

Agents that read a request, execute a workflow across APIs, verify the result and escalate when they can't
LLM integrations — Python chatbot APIs, RAG and document AI, AI features inside existing SaaS
Business automation — CRM/ERP, email, documents, reporting, dashboards, browser automation
Voice & avatars — real-time speech, voice cloning, lip-sync, meeting agents
Product architecture — deciding what stays deterministic code and what an LLM should own
Infrastructure — API vs self-hosting, GPU needs, latency, Docker deployment, cost per call

Applied AI and product engineering — not ML research. Shipped in trucking, legal, project management, restaurants, marketing and operations.

Management

Running the delivery, not just the code

I run software projects and my own company, so I own the whole lifecycle rather than a ticket queue.

Lifecycle — client, requirements, scope and SOW, estimate, team, tasks, development, QA, delivery, maintenance
Commercials — budgets, hourly rates, estimates that survive contact with the invoice
Capacity — full-time and part-time allocation, workload, deadlines, accountability
Client side — communication, reporting, and catching scope creep before it lands
Tooling — Jira, Asana, Trello, Teamwork and GitHub workflows, including their APIs

Team lead since 2022; customer retention moved from 50% to 80% under that structure.

What I'm building

Client work pays the bills. These are the things I'm building on my own terms.

Startup · 01

Gavril gavril.me ↗

An AI management layer for software delivery. Not a replacement for Jira or GitHub — a layer above them that understands the project itself: it reads the SOW, turns scope into tasks, watches the repo, and takes over a meaningful slice of the account manager's job.

Built from the problem I live with: the lifecycle knowledge sits in one person's head, and it does not scale.

Startup · 02

Glaze Lab glazelab.studio ↗

A creative marketing studio — strategy, campaigns and content with actual personality. The commercial counterpart to the engineering work: brand and demand for companies that build good products and stay invisible anyway.
