Technology · Procurement · Education
I work at the intersection of technology, sourcing and teaching — connecting an engineering background with technology procurement, university education and research.
One career.
Several perspectives.
Engineer by education, technology procurement professional by profession, and university lecturer by passion. Serafinium is where those perspectives meet.
My work spans technology sourcing and supplier relationships, while teaching keeps me close to programming fundamentals and the engineers who will shape what comes next. Research remains the thread connecting both worlds.
Technology procurement.
Working across software, hardware and IT services, with a focus on sourcing, commercial negotiations and supplier strategy.
Software
Commercial models, licensing and sourcing in an increasingly cloud- and AI-driven technology landscape.
Hardware
Technology sourcing where specifications, lifecycle, supply and commercial decisions intersect.
IT Services
Structuring requirements and supplier engagement around outcomes, capability and long-term value.
Programming foundations
in an AI-assisted world.
I teach Programming Languages at Politehnica University Timișoara, introducing students to programming fundamentals, syntax, data structures and algorithms.
AI now writes code. The foundations still matter: future engineers need to understand, question and judge what machines generate.
Programming Languages
Foundations, syntax and structured problem solving.
Data Structures
Building the mental models behind efficient programs.
AI & Engineering
Using AI as an aid while preserving understanding and engineering judgment.
