I’m passionate about building complete systems — from PCB design and firmware to desktop, mobile, and web interfaces.
Over the past few years I’ve developed several hardware–software projects that merge design, engineering, and AI.

• 🦾 ARC (All-in-one Remote Console) — Linux-powered handheld terminal for RF/NFC/GSM hacking and field testing.

  • Custom 4-layer PCB (Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, RP2040 keyboard, LoRa, GSM, NFC, audio).
  • Custom Pygame UI, FastAPI dashboard, and modular Python toolchain.
  • Features: WiFi/Bluetooth/NFC/RF tools, media player, and game launcher.

• 🧠 Marcel — humanoid robot and smart home assistant.

  • Designed mechanical and electronic systems from scratch in Fusion 360.
  • Includes facial recognition, motion tracking, and speech interaction.

• 🛠️ Omnicut — modular CNC cutting system.

  • Multi-tool head system (laser, milling, knife).
  • Full control app with live visualization and modular firmware.

• 🅿️ ParkFlow — smart parking system with LoRa communication.

  • Hardware node + React dashboard.
  • 🏆 Accenture Special Award, DPIT 2023 | 🥈 Arena Urșilor 2023

• Finalizing ARC v2 — improved hardware layout, faster boot, new FastAPI backend.
• Building my homelab: multi-node Proxmox cluster, OpenMediaVault + Docker stacks.
• Expanding ARC Desktop Environment with new modules (WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, RF, Music, Games).
