Just Another Cluster #5
S
Hello there! I am a seasoned senior software engineer, currently working at Ropardo, a prominent company based in Sibiu. My expertise lies in frontend development, which is where I mainly focus my work efforts. In the past, I have contributed to various projects for SmartBill, spearheaded a community of over 1.5 million members, and developed exceptional products for Koding, a San Francisco-based company. Furthermore, I have built and helped with the development of presentation websites and online stores for small businesses at Sensmedia. As a passionate advocate of the open-source movement, I am always on the lookout for fresh and innovative projects to work on. Currently, I am dedicated to constructing a local web community called @SibiuWebMeetup in Sibiu. If you need to contact me, please don't hesitate to drop me an email at hello@stefancosma.xyz or look me up on most social media platforms using the handle @stefanbc. On a personal note, I am an avid comics enthusiast and amateur photographer, and you can often find me indulging in these hobbies in my free time. Please note that I usually respond to messages within 1-2 business days.
