Hey there! I'm Răzvan, a Finance graduate with a passion for technology and programming. After focusing on Financial Engineering during my studies, I'm now planning to pursue a Data Science master's program at the University of Bucharest to build on both my technical and analytical skills.
I've enjoyed working on various tech projects—from creating Python automation tools that streamlined workflows at Flanco to building custom PCs and developing iOS apps with Swift. My experience with programming languages like Python and Swift has helped me solve various problems and improve processes in my work.
When I'm not coding or diving into financial models, you'll find me bodybuilding, following Formula 1, or build new apps. I'm always curious about exploring new technologies and looking forward to connecting with people who share similar interests in the tech world.
