I've built Oakbits because of my desire to help other companies and startups achieve their goals through technology and build their products in a qualitative way, by taking the best technical decisions and having a reliable partner throughout the entire lifetime of their products. Together with my carefully chosen team, we're working with great startups which achieve remarcable success into their industries.

Founder & Software Consultant

I've been in charge of development for Aznog, a VoIP/communications app developed for Android. I started as individual developer and built the Android client and backend APIs from scratch. After more than 1 year,  I increased the team to 4 people, managed team tasks, did code reviews and prepared the releases, while continuing to contribute to the code.

CTO & Co-Founder

I worked on a B2B unified communications solution. There, I had to rewrite a module of the core product in C++ responsible for notifying the availability (available / busy) of the users inside a company using IP phones/softphones. I independently created a tool to stress test this module with very high load which gave us important feedback at that time.

Software Developer

I worked on a company product offering telecom services (like your  regular telecom provider) to customers in Germany. There I took  responsibility of a new project immediately whose purpose was to  capture, store and query all the call data from our servers. I  participated in open-source projects written in C, as well as PHP, with  private, as well as public patches. Some of the open-source projects I  contributed to are Kamailio SIP server and Homer Web tool. I implemented  features which impacted 5 millions of users of our telecom service.   One of my most complex features was saving call data real time inside a  MySQL database, so I had to optimize the process in multiple ways  (temporary memory tables, optimizing indexes, MySQL events and triggers,  sharding, storage engine optimization).

Software Engineer

My main choice for backend is NodeJS with Express, because it's a fast way to develop a backend with lots of community support.

I also am proficient in using React to build high quality web frontends quickly. I have worked with React in various projects and industries like:
* an internal tool for Sanofi, the global pharma company, meant to improve the process for the sales people sales process
* an chatbot app for Hyundai, the global car manufacturer, where users can ask about various car details and offers. Other apps related to AI and NLP for the car industry.


I have lately started working with React Native as my main solution for mobile apps. My previous 3 years experience on Android native development helps me a lot. I have worked on two apps in React Native:
- an app for ride entertainment for buses
- a POS app for restaurants

I have implemented many projects from scratch where I had to model the data, choose a suitable database and implement the database architecture. This is a fundamental part of an app and the choices you make impact the future of the development profoundly. I have worked with many types of databases, from relational to NoSQL.

In the last year, I've been working with many AWS services, gathering in depth knowledge on the AWS platform and how one could leverage those amazing tools, but also their limitations.

Web/Mobile Developer and Entrepreneur

Dragos Mihai Dinu

I've helped build an internal web platform from scratch for Sanofi - a global pharmaceutical company. I've had a lead role in the development and took key decisions which helped us deliver a great result, despite of the very tight deadline and of the difficulties created by a newly formed team without prior experience in working together.

Sanofi Internal Platform

Worked on a projects dedicated to conversational bots for the biggest car manufacturers (Hyundai, Kia, BMW etc.), involving NLP-related technologies.

AI Technology for Car Manufacturers

I have built two internal platforms for configuring AI bots and advisors. Some of the features: show the currently available agents, configure various settings of your agents, configure various data which is used to make the bots "smart" etc.
Client was in the Y Combinator2019 batch with this product.

Askdata Platforms

I've build multiple backend and frontend features for the UnitPal app,  based on the needs of the hotel managers which use our app. Features  I've built include: extending bookings/metrics/housekeeping reports with  new details, added useful UI components (modals, date-pickers, various  new elements to pages), created patches to modify and extend existing  production data without disabling the service, added new information on  invoices, extended API's to support new operations and many more. 

UnitPal

I've build an MVP from scratch of Haru - a web app designed to bring  together people interested in doing the same activities. The app allows  creating and managing groups of friends, choosing favorite activities,  creating events and distributing them to the chosen groups of friends,  visualizing and replying to invites, sending emails to invited users,  visiting users' profile pages, registration and login using email or  phone number etc.

Haru App

Decadoo is a website which offers personalized gifts suggestions (based  on gender, relationship, age, personality etc.), by filling up a  questionnaire. My responsibilities were to add new questions to the  questionnaire, update existing ones, add a feedback page at the end of  the questionnaire, build an API for creating emails with custom gifts  suggestions and deploy the service to a new hosting provider.

Decadoo Gift Suggestions App

I've been in charge of migrating a complex database which used an old technology (Sybase SQL) to MariaDB. I've also done research projects to figure out the feasibility or migrating some databases in the cloud or to a different DB engine and studied the performance impact.
