  • Meteo Station

    • This year we succeeded in gathering

    about 2600 Euros via the Stiintescu Fund that we used

    to buy equipment such as 3D printers and Arduino

    and Raspberry Pi platforms.

    • We built a Meteo Station so that everyone from Targu-Mures can know the weather any time while

    using the site: http://statiemeteo.dyndns.org:443/

    or the app that I am currently developing.

  • Red Cross Volunteer

    • As a Red Cross Volunteer I helped children from less favourablebackgrounds who do not have the financial possibilities of studying programming.

    • After six months of teaching I was so pleasantly surprised by their progress.

  • Quotations:

    • “Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.”

    – Ada Lovelace–

    The first programmer and my role model
