Engineering the Future

I've been a CTO for 16+ years. In that time, I've built AI-powered applications and blockchain-based systems used by hundreds of thousands of people daily. I've written the first line of code and I've led the engineering teams that scaled it. The full range — from prototype to enterprise-grade platform.

AI isn't just changing software — it's redefining entire industries. Blockchain is creating economic models that didn't exist five years ago. Cybersecurity has become the foundation of digital trust. If you're building the future, understanding these shifts isn't optional anymore.

Through my articles, I share what actually works — real solutions from real projects, not theory from a textbook. From startup prototypes to enterprise platforms, these are honest perspectives on building technology that solves genuine problems and makes a difference.

Figma MCP: The CTO's Guide to Design-to-Code in 2026

The design-to-code handoff has been the most expensive bottleneck in software development for as long as I can remember. Not because it's technically hard - because it's a translation problem. A designer creates a pixel-perfect mockup in Figma. A developer interprets it. They go back and forth for weeks. Spacing is off by 4px. The wrong shade of blue made it into production. The button has 12px padding instead of 16px. Nobody's happy.

International SEO: Mastering Hreflang Implementation

After spending years implementing international platforms across multiple regions, I can tell you the problem with hreflang isn't the syntax; it's the decision-making, maintenance, and understanding when you actually need it.

GoAccess SEO Log Analysis: Track Googlebot & Crawl Budget

The numbers don't lie. Your server logs contain the truth about how search engines actually interact with your site - not what you hope is happening, but what's really going on. While Google Search Console shows you a sanitized view of crawl activity, your raw server logs reveal the full story: every bot visit, every 404 error, every redirect chain, and every wasted crawl budget opportunity.

How to Build Production-Ready RAG Systems

Three months into production, a RAG system was hemorrhaging money. $50,000 in monthly API costs, hallucination rates hovering at 15%, and user complaints flooding support channels. The prototype had worked beautifully in testing. In production? Complete disaster.

How to Harden Nginx & Apache Servers: Security Guide

Modern attacks don't just target application vulnerabilities, they exploit server misconfigurations, weak SSL/TLS implementations, missing security headers, and inadequate access controls. Whether you're running Nginx's event-driven architecture or Apache's battle-tested process model, proper hardening is non-negotiable. The good news? Most critical vulnerabilities can be eliminated with systematic configuration changes that don't require expensive tools or specialized expertise.

Modern Hybrid Warfare: Lessons from Romania's 2024 Election Interference Crisis

The digital battlefield has evolved far beyond traditional cybersecurity concerns. In 2024, Romania experienced one of the most sophisticated hybrid warfare campaigns in modern European history, revealing how nation-state actors now weaponize everything from social media algorithms to mercenary networks to destabilize democratic processes. As technology leaders and cybersecurity professionals, understanding these evolving threats isn't just academic, it's essential for protecting our organizations and democratic institutions.

What I Can Help You With

From AI implementation to technical leadership, I bring real-world experience solving complex problems.

AI Implementations and RAG Systems

I build AI applications that handle production-level traffic — not demos, not proofs of concept. My RAG systems process thousands of queries daily with proven reliability. When AI needs to work at scale, that's where I come in.

Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Solutions

From smart contracts to full production platforms. I've designed and built systems that process millions in transactions with enterprise-grade security. Not every problem needs blockchain — but when it does, the architecture has to be bulletproof.

Technical Leadership and Team Development

I've built engineering teams from scratch and led them through the full lifecycle — from a scrappy MVP to enterprise-scale products. I know what it takes because I've done every role along the way.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure

I've hardened infrastructure against real-world cyber threats and built platforms that protect sensitive data for thousands of users. Security isn't a feature you bolt on later — it's the foundation.

Start-up Advisory and Investment

I do technical due diligence and strategic advising for startups. I'm also actively investing in AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity companies. If you're building something in these spaces, let's talk.

Scaling Platforms and Architectures

I've architected platforms serving millions of users and processing billions of transactions annually. When your system needs to go from thousands to millions, the architecture decisions you make early are everything.
