About me
Hello!
I'm Mihai, a full-stack developer who has spent the last eight years turning messy requirements into software people actually enjoy using.
Most of my work lives in the Laravel ecosystem: APIs, admin panels, multilingual content sites and the queues, caches and deploy pipelines that keep them fast. On the front end I reach for Livewire or Vue, and Tailwind for everything visual.
I care about the boring parts — tests, migrations that roll back cleanly, pages that load in under a second — because that's what lets a product keep moving after launch.
When I'm not coding, I'm writing about what I've learned on this blog, hiking in the Carpathians, or tinkering with a home server that is never quite finished.
