About me

Diploma of the bronze medal

Bronze Medalist

I got the bronze medal in 2018 in a national C# contest in Romania.

It was 4 hour time slot in which I had to develop a project with a database and using text files that would meet the requirements.

University of Surrey's St Johns Unit

First Aid & St John Amublance

A big interest of mine is first aid. Over the past years I have gotten involved with First Aid Society at University and volunteering with St John Ambulance. Both experiences are fantastic and I would reccommend everyone to learn a bit of first aid!

Snowboarding

Snowboarding

One of my favourite ways of relaxing is a trip to the mountains! I am always up for a snowboarding weekend.

Summer Scuba Diving

Scuba Diving

Most interesting thing to do in the summer: Explore the underwater world!

Defend It

A simple game developed in C# where you take control of a frog and battle against all the upcoming flies.

Uses an object oriented approach and was one of the first projects that I started learning C# programming with.

Took a long time to create since I decided to write everything for the game including the game engine, the physics, and changing the game states(main menu, shop and actual game).

Cubezone

A simple game developed in Unity where you try and reach the highest score by avoiding obstacles.

A very fun project that I decided to do, where I had the freedom to experiment with using Unity for game development.

The game's concept is an endless runner, where you take control of a cube and have to dodge all the incoming obstacles. The longer you survive the higher your score gets! The game has some pretty cool sound effects and uses the in-built unity physics for some realistic crashes.

Morse Code encoder and decoder

A very interesting project developed while in first year in university with a group of students.

The purpose of the project was tu use an Arduino board to create a morse code encoder and decoder.

First part of the project was creating a decoder that would take as input our button presses and interpret that as a morse code input, translating it into a character and showing it onto a 7 segment led display.

Second part of the project was the encoder, that would have a predefined string (ex: "Hello") and translate each character into morse code, sending the data to the decoder. The arduino board had a LED light that would show each dot or line in the morse code. Then the decoder would display it as above.
