Codrin Alexandru, on ultimately becoming a Software Engineer, from fixing the family computer, and guiding his professional path with integrity
Sure, fixing the family computer at an early age usually makes you turn into that “Hackerman” meme character, but other times it just helps you guide your career path to ultimately becoming a great software engineer. One such amazing software engineer we sat down to talk to is Codrin Alexandru.
Read all about it, folks, as Codrin answers our questions and talks with us about his favorite tech and how important values are in building both your personal and professional life.
Cristina Irimes, Software Engineer, about her professional journey from AscentCore’s Internship Program to a full-on project
We dare you to find a more down-to-earth and attentive person than Cristina. She’s been with us for a while now, starting with our Internship Program this year, and, as well as her colleagues, stayed on the projects after the internship ended. A great success for them, for us, for everyone involved, as we all had something to win.
Oana Cutuș, Technical Manager, on the essential role people play in an organization and the hardship of riding a unicorn
Okay, we admit we kind of tried to push it a bit with that clickbait title, but there’s a story there, trust us. Oana is our go-to source for amazing stories and great discussions over a cup of coffee. Our sit-down was meant for you to fully discover Oana like we are still trying, but we didn’t even start to scratch the surface. Whenever you get the chance, bribe her with a coffee and you won’t regret it.
She’s not only an amazing storyteller, but she’s also absolutely amazing to work with. Her team would vouch for that at any given moment, even if you wake them up in the middle of the night banging pans together.
Cristian Mardare, Senior Software Engineer, on building your career with a healthy approach, principles, and work-life balance
Passion + Commitment + Consistency – these principles have been Cristi’s guiding stars on his remarkable career journey, leading him to where he stands today. And guess what? He’s right here with us! Our sit-down with him was… well, let’s say “meticulous,” just like everything else he does. Take a peek at his daily routine, and you’ll see what we mean.
Stefan Csoregi, Engineering Manager, On The Importance Of Making Mistakes, Learning On The Go And Giving Ownership To Team Members
One of the most down-to-earth people you’ll meet, Stefan had a sit with us for a much-needed discussion about his passions, about his professional journey thus far, what makes him tick, and most of all, how he conducts his day-to-day business and how he manages his team. Having said this, his view on how a team should collaborate is something you need to check out. Also, should you ever come in need of a beer expert, he’s your guy! And we do mean this.
Georgiana Preduca, on her journey to becoming a very skilled and creative Technical Manager, as well as a LinkedIn expert
Whether you’re ever in need of someone to craft very – and we do mean VERY – professional LinkedIn posts, or DIY projects that include wiring and electronics, Georgiana Preduca is the one you need. Extremely skillful, creative, and resourceful, she’s not your usual Technical Manager, after all, she’s really into espionage movies and shows, so… We kept our discussion not short, but effective and very insightful, so let’s dive right into today’s story with Georgiana!
Liviu Sopon, Software Engineer, on turning long-time passions into a successful career in programming
We had a sit down with Liviu to discuss a whole bunch of topics and it genuinely turned into an amazing talk about how passions helped him become a really talented Software Engineer. All in all, our discussion about a typical work day and spending personal time, as well as his career path lead us to deeper topics, with amazing references, such as the Great Filter or the Triforce, as well as great info sources, but you really have to read his Employee Story to catch onto these topics.
Cristian Bodnar, Director of Engineering, about creating your own best practices and making an impact through your day-to-day work
Cristi is one of a kind, they truly broke the mold after they made him. We love discussing with Cristi because every time we find out something new about him and how he does what he does. He is a – let’s say self-made – Director of Engineering at AscentCore and he may describe his work like Forrest Gump describes life comparing it with a box of chocolates: ‘you never know what you’ll gonna get’ when you come in every day. Cristi talked with us about creating your very own best practices, implementing your own style, and making it work, as well as a lot of stories but nevertheless, with emphasis on making an impact through what you do through your work.
Anda Nicola, Director of Engineering, on the key factors of creating a healthy work environment while offering the best customer experience possible
Anda is truly one of a kind, and we couldn’t resist sitting down with her to dig into what sets her apart as an amazing professional. We had an insightful conversation about her unique approach to fostering a healthy work environment and why it holds such immense significance. It’s inspiring to see how she wholeheartedly embraces her now-famous tagline #viatabuna in all aspects of her work, including creating unforgettable customer experiences. Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, we present to you: Anda.
