Hi, I'm Bogdan. I'm the senior engineer carrying a fintech product - architecture, backend, AI tooling, delivery - and my last three projects have all been in finance. My favorite kind of work: noticing a human problem and automating it away, lately with AI layers most teams are still reading about. My best-known projects are written in languages I'd never put on a CV; what I'm actually good at is solving problems, not syntax. And I bill for delivery, not seat time.
Most of my work starts the same way: a human problem, automated for good. Some of it ships to production for clients; some of it ships free to strangers - 32,000+ downloads and counting.
I'm the senior engineer carrying a fintech product - architecture, backend, releases, and the AI tooling around them. It's the third finance product in a row I've worked on. I picked up some pharma experience along the way too, though fintech is where I do my main work. The reason this page is short on named details: the interesting parts are under NDA. Ask me on a call.
I automated my team's delivery workflow with LLM layers - GitLab tasks created, labeled and tracked; Slack posts written; pipelines followed - running as standalone binaries, half a year before MCP made this everyone's favorite topic. A full write-up is coming; the short version fits in a call.
A fast terminal UI in Rust for browsing, installing and updating Claude Code plugins. My most-starred open-source project - written in a language I'd never claim on a CV, which is rather the point.
A fully autonomous agent that books my daily discounted pizza: it drives a heavy JavaScript site with QA tooling, calls the restaurant through a temporary phone number, and leaves my address. Autonomous browsing, telephony and a real-world result - built years before "agents" were a product category. Watch it run ↗
World of Warcraft developers told me a global database of in-game items didn't exist and couldn't be built. So I built the parser, shipped the database as CraftLib - a public library the community builds on - and proved it with LazyProf, which plans the cheapest path to level any profession. Together with a peer-to-peer guild auction house (lots, queues, voting), that's 32,000+ downloads of in-game finance tools - all in Lua, another language I never formally learned.
Some of my favorite systems were built free, for people I care about - a full platform for a friend because the problem was interesting, and working products for my wife's projects. Real users, real stakes, no invoice. Details on a call, or in the list below.
Open source, merged: Google's MCP Toolbox · python-trio · and more
My news as ranked summaries instead of an hour of scrolling. Private code - happy to walk through it on a call.

Long-term engagement, B2B. I join as your senior engineer - learn the product deep, then own delivery end-to-end: architecture, backend, AI tooling, releases. I bill for delivery, not seat time. Prefer to start small? We can scope a two-week trial first.
Simple to hire: you get an invoice from an EU-registered contractor - no employment overhead, no agency in between. How it starts: a 30-minute intro call, a short written proposal, and we begin.

Everyone was a volunteer, so authority had to be earned again every week. It's the most honest leadership training I've had, and it shows in how I run projects.
After ten years in engineering, I spent nine months training in Gestalt therapy and earned the certificate. It wasn't a career change - it was an investment in the human half of the job: listening well, asking the right questions, and keeping collaboration honest. I live in Barcelona with my family, and I keep my work calm and predictable - for my clients and for myself.
Ten years leave you with stories. Here are some - ask me for the rest on a call.
I've never chased a title. Yet, employer after employer, I ended up leading - the role kept finding me because delivery kept landing. That's the pattern I bring: do the work of the role above you, and the role follows.
More than once, a client planned to hire a second developer - and then didn't need to. I aim to deliver more value than was asked; it's how one-off contracts turn into years-long relationships.
I'd rather flag a problem in week one than look good for a sprint. The people in my life - clients, friends, my wife - all get the same honesty. It's why my relationships, working and otherwise, last.
