Experience

VRHome.ro

I built a web platform that brings real estate agencies and local property developers together by offering a more accessible and more enjoyable way to buy or rent a property. Clients can view the apartments and houses in a VR (virtual reality) mode. This feature can save customers' time by presenting the properties in a very detailed way.

Parking Application

I developed a web application in Symfony that uses spatial databases to store geographic data. It allows users and companies to list their available parking spots, that can be simple points (composed of latitude and longitude) or complicated polygons (consisting of multiple points).

ElectriCity 365

With three friends, I built a web application at a hackathon. It uses a convolutional neural network for the real-time detection of available parking spots. This application won the second place at the Code4Cluj Hackathon.
