In a nutshell

I'm aldo , an independent full stack developer from Bucharest. Across my 4+ years of experience I have worked on various projects ranging from e-commerce platforms, real time auction house software, customer journey orchestration and many more. I mostly use Laravel and Vue.js but I consider myself to be language agnostic and able to adapt and find the best solutions to a problem in any tech stack. I'm interested in Laravel, Vuejs, Inertia, Tailwind, Graphic Design, E-commerce and Movies. I am a firm believer of user-centered design and put a great deal of effort into my work to provide seamless and satisfying experiences.
