Testimonial
I worked with Ionut on a few projects during his time at ARTGAMES and it was a pleasure to do so. During his onboarding he was really quick to adapt to a new project and could get working at an efficient pace in no time. He is a great problem solver with a strong understanding of business requirements and could be an invaluable asset to any development team.

The level of dedication and the technical skills that he possesses are something that I have always appreciated and wished that all my colleagues had. He is very keen on details, technically orientated and always happy to share new techniques. Any company will be happy to have him as a team member.

Full Stack Developer | Next.js, TypeScript, Laravel, DockerYou are going to know the best developer you've ever met! I know Ionut as we worked together on the same project and I can say that he is one of the most passionate, creative and innovative person that I worked with. He is a reliable person who always wants to learn and implement the best approach for a feature. A very responsible person who has a great ability to understand businesses very quickly — the type of colleague that you want to work with. In terms of tech stack, he is one of the biggest lovers of VueJs and he likes to use his creativity and programming skills on both the frontend and the backend. Backend wise he is a good PHP developer who loves OOP and respects security and code reuse best practices.
