Hi, I’m Dan.

A developer who likes to stay close to the work.

I lead mobile development at FitSkin, where my work connects scanning algorithms, a core SDK and the iOS and Android apps we build for our partners.

My background spans Java at HP, native app development and leading the mobile department at Wolfpack Digital. I like being involved from the first product conversations and architectural decisions through development and release.

Mobile is my strongest skill. I also build for the web and backend, and I’m interested in projects I can take on directly—from the first technical decisions to the working product.

Outside the day job

I play tennis—and ended up building an app for it. MyTennisGame runs on Apple Watch and helps me record how points end during my matches. It’s a personal project built around a question I wanted to answer: what’s actually happening beyond the score?

Since 2020, I’ve shared what I learn about programming and mobile development on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn. I also speak at events and organized mobile meetups in Cluj-Napoca in 2025 and 2026.
