My Journey of Passion and Precision

From the bustling streets of a small town in Moldova to the sleek offices of London’s tech world, my journey has been anything but ordinary. Growing up, my days were filled with the lively sounds of family gatherings, the rich aroma of home-cooked meals, and the constant hum of innovation.

My father was an aircraft engineer, and my mother a talented doctor; from them, I inherited a deep appreciation for both the problem solving of engineering and the empathy towards humans.

Discovering a Love for Technology

As a child, I was fascinated by how things worked. I spent countless hours dismantling household gadgets and putting them back together, often with a few extra pieces left over. This curiosity blossomed into a passion for technology, leading me to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Moldova. It was there that I first encountered the world of programming, and I was hooked. The logic, the problem-solving, and the endless possibilities were exhilarating.

Crossing Borders and Expanding Horizons

After graduating, I decided to push my boundaries further. I moved to Stockholm to pursue a double Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction and Entrepreneurship at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and later at University College London.

This transition was challenging but incredibly rewarding. It exposed me to new cultures, cutting-edge technologies, and a network of brilliant minds. During my time at KTH and UCL, I worked on several innovative projects, including research on adoption of IoT devices in home environments —a project that earned recognition from industry leaders.

Making an Impact in London

With my degree in hand, I ventured into the heart of technological innovation. I joined a dynamic start-up focused on artificial intelligence, where I had the opportunity to lead a team of talented engineers.

Together, we developed a revolutionary AI-driven platform that transformed data analytics for businesses. This experience not only honed my technical skills but also taught me invaluable lessons in leadership and teamwork.

A Vision for the Future

Today, I am a senior Product Designer at leading tech companies, where I continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. My journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the belief that technology can change the world for the better. As I look to the future, I am excited to explore other new frontiers in AI, renewable energy, and beyond, always with the goal of creating a more sustainable and equitable world.

Throughout my career I aim to share my experiences, insights, and the latest advancements in technology. Whether you’re a fellow tech enthusiast, a budding engineer, or someone curious about the ever-evolving world of technology, I hope my story inspires you to pursue your dreams and make a lasting impact.
