Professional Skills
Work Experience
The functions are used by large merchants who spend >20 billion USD on Google Shopping advertisement.
Worked with Data pipelines gathering merchant usage metrics by aggregating offers data (>200 TB daily) into a readily available dated table format.
Created a dashboard for analyzing and debugging client runs.
Integrated an A/B testing tool into our systems for experimenting with 2 or more workflows for each website domain.
We extended it with Open Source solutions, while running on Google Kubernetes Engine as a Borg replacement.
Implemented an automated mechanism for setting up the production of a new server, including the release processe, configuration, monitoring and access management.
Teaching Assistant at Technical University of
Cluj-Napoca

I added a flexible limit setting for risk management in free-text format, based on an explit set of keywords (for example: "exposure < 0.05 and bid > 500").
Worked on a very low latency Market Data distribution service that was connecting to the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The server needed to handle a very high throughput in one instance (>14000 QPS) at <7μs latency, in just one server instance. I added lock-free concurrent queues and managed to bring the latency down to <3μs (capable of handling >333000 QPS).

Hobbies
In my free time, I sometimes do programming for learning, fun or as a mental challenge. I read books and listen to audio books & podcasts to maximize my learning time. I also don't shy away from other mental challenges such as chess.
I like to keep myself healthy and in shape. I engage in physical activities like weight training, running, and hiking. I also read about nutrition and implement it by eating healthy.
If I want to just relax, I listen to music or watch a football match (ideally high level, i.e. UCL
/
World Cup) on TV.
More recently, I've been getting into digital photography as a creative hobby.
This also makes me go to the Swiss Alps more often.
