Experience

Kopplr Merchant Service Console

A platform that lets merchants access any services they need in one place through one slick interface. I led the back-end team, mainly tasked with building the GraphQL API, while also playing a part in many technical decisions across the project.

Fiipregatit National Emergency Preparedness Platform

https://fiipregatit.ro/
A website inspired by ready.gov, which contains official guides from various governmental agencies detailing what one should do before, during, and after different emergencies. It was built over a very short timeframe using WordPress with roots.io.

Meserii Interactive Map of Trade Schools

An interactive map showing trade schools in Romania, with data such as specialization and number of students in each grade, and companies that employ people with those specializations and their data, including company name, address, and revenue. I built the front end of the application, which was a project initiated in partnership with the Romanian Ministry of Education.

Cancer Atlas | Mapping Prototype

https://civicnet.github.io/cancer-atlas/#/
A data visualization and mapping prototype to aid lung cancer patients, their navigators, and medical staff. It maps medical services across Romania, making it easy to find specific facilities nearby users' locations.

Cancer Atlas | Data Processing Pipeline

https://github.com/civicnet/cancer-atlas-scripts/
A data processing pipeline built using Reason. It takes in data that powers Cancer Atlas and enriches the application with information related to the location of medical services suppliers using Google Geolocation APIs.

RoDiaspora React Native App

https://github.com/civicnet/rodiaspora/
A React Native application for Romanians abroad, helping them locate embassies or consulates and voting booths during elections. It also provides them with news related to the country they may be in and alerts issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

Disaster Visualization Atlas

https://github.com/civicnet/disaster-atlas/
A visualization of global warming's potential effects. It allows simulating sea-level rising interactively using a slider and maps out important landmarks in Romania that could potentially get flooded. It also shows estimated material damages and the number of affected people for each county. I built the application and the dataset that powers it. The application was presented during the Understanding Risk Europe conference in 2019.

Heroku Buildpack for HHVM

https://github.com/facebookarchive/heroku-buildpack-hhvm/
A custom buildpack that I helped develop for bringing HHVM to Heroku. My role was mainly building the HHVM .hdf configuration linter using Bash, which was the prerequisite step before compiling any HHVM project.

1977 Cutremur Earthquake Visualization

https://civicnet.github.io/cutremur77/#/
An interactive visualization of the large earthquake that hit Romania on March 4, 1977. It shows how the earthquake propagated from the epicenter in real-time, using actual data, including a short audio recording. I built this with the aid of the National Research Development Institute for Earth Physics.

Alba Iulia Smart City Presentation Website

https://github.com/civicnet/website-alba-iulia-smart-city/
A presentation website showcasing smart city solutions implemented during the Alba Iulia Smart City program. The City Hall needed a presentation website that would allow them to easily add solutions from over 100 partners, with photos, videos, and structured text descriptions in both Romanian and English, which I built using a custom WordPress installation based on roots.io.

Translation Detector

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/detect-translation/
A TypeScript library that allows website owners to detect when a user requests a page translation using an online translator such as Google, Baidu, Microsoft, Yandex, and others. It does so by observing Document Object Model changes and looking for specific modifications that these online translators make, allowing owners to listen specifically to these events.

Redis Hexastore

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/redis-hexastore/
A lightweight hexastore implementation using Redis sorted sets. It allows storing graphs as triples, such as subject, predicate, and object, for efficient querying. This library was built with Deno in mind as the runtime.

FNV-1a Algorithm Implementation

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/FNV/
A straightforward TypeScript version of the FNV-1a algorithm implemented as a learning exercise, though it seems to perform on par with the FNV-1a algorithm implemented for Deno in the official library.

Feature Bouncer

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/feature-bouncer/
A feature toggle library with persistence in Redis, built for Express. It allows gatekeeping of certain app functionalities for release purposes, only available to x% of the user base; for privacy purposes, only available internally; or for any other purpose a product may require.

Allegro Map Editor

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/Allegro-map-editor/
A tilemap editor built using Allegro. It enables the creation of variable-sized 2D tile maps with any number of layers using custom tilesets. It also allows exporting these maps in Allegro's .dat format, ready to be used for any 2D games. Each tile could also hold several attributes, such as collision information.

TypeScript Duckling

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/ts-duckling/
A TypeScript library for Deno that parses text into structured data. This is inspired by the Duckling parser but uses a more naive approach with parser combinators. In practice, this means that while the library is easy to extend and relatively light, it will perform poorly on larger datasets and be much more error-prone since the rules for entities are hard coded.

Combine Parser Combinator

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/combine/
A parser combinator library for Deno, which takes several parsers as input and returns a new parser. Combine defines a few such parsers and combinators, including utility functions, to make parsing tasks easy.

dHash Algorithm Implementation

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/dhash/
An implementation of the dHash algorithm for Deno. It allows quickly finding images that are identical—or have slight derivations of a source image—in a large dataset by computing a perceptual hash for each. This tool is handy for fighting spam, copyright, and many other scenarios.

Allegro Particle Editor

https://github.com/ClaudiuCeia/Allegro-particle-editor/
A particle editor built in C++ using the Allegro library. It features options to define particle and emitter parameters such as life duration, shape, size, color, and speed, including any forces that may be applied to them, such as gravity or wind.

Crypto Analytics Dashboard

A crypto analytics dashboard that includes functionalities such as data ingestion, technical indicator calculation, auto trading, backtesting strategies, and more. I was a tech lead to a team of 10 – 15 developers, overseeing the architecture and implementation of most core services and the migration of manually provisioned AWS infrastructure to a different region using AWS CDK.

AI Over-the-phone Voice Assistant

Built a conversational over-the-phone voice assistant with advanced capabilities that were implemented as functional, taking and making phone calls based on user requests. The project allows the creation of multiple client profiles and the addition of configurable assistants to each, each with an assigned phone number.
