A full-stack developer from Bucharest, Romania, EU, with 25+ years of experience.
Curious by nature, an avid reader of fantasy, fiction, history & tech-related literature, always looking to expand my skillset and horizons, to understand how things work and to make them work better.

Creator of 📒 Mantine DataTable, 🖱️ Mantine ContextMenu, ✨ tRPC-SvelteKit and 📦 PocketBaseUML.
Also built 🐧 Expose-WSL, 🌐 IISExpress-Proxy and other open-source projects.

Currently doing stuff at SegmentX.ai.
Owner / Jack of all trades @ 🐸 swapp.ro.¹.
Ex Allianz & NBG.
Former tech partner at AJM FleetPurchase & LeasingSH.ro.

• Typescript/JavaScript
• Node.js
• React/Next.js/Remix, but I'm also interested in Svelte/SvelteKit
• React UI Frameworks I've been working with:
  • Mantine — I'm a contributor and also the author of 📒 Mantine DataTable and 🖱️ Mantine ContextMenu
  • Ant Design
  • MaterialUI
  • Blueprint.js
• tRPC — I'm a contributor and the creator of ✨ tRPC-SvelteKit and ✨ tRPC-Transformer
• PostgreSQL, Prisma, Hasura, Knex.js, DrizzleORM, Kysely
• SQL in general; I have designed enterprise SQLServer/Oracle DB architectures while working for multinational companies in the past
• Worked with NextAuth, but I'm also interested in Lucia
• PocketBase — I'm a fan of the lightest "back-end in one file" solution and the creator of 📦 PocketBaseUML
• Firebase (mostly firebase-auth)
• I have a few CSS tricks up my sleeve, a good understanding of the DOM, I'm fluent with CSS-in-JS, SASS/CSS-Modules, PostCSS, Emotion and I'm even good-enough at creating website/application designs from scratch; here are some examples:
  • The docs websites for Mantine DataTable, Mantine ContextMenu, tRPC-SvelteKit and ASPAX
  • swapp.ro, boutiquetravel.ro, interiordelight™️, King's Host, AJM Fleet Purchase, sellcarbuycar.com, LeasingSH.ro, PocketBaseUML

Not a huge fan of Tailwind.

• PHP & MySQL, around y2k (yeah, I'vew been around a while)
• Java/J2EE, .NET/C#, Oracle, SQL Server, BizTalk, cca. 2002—2007
• CoffeeScript & IcedCofeeScript, back when when JS had no async/await
• Quite a few templating languages such as Mustache or Jade/Pug and some strange old JS frameworks (Backbone, Riot.js) in the pre-React era

• 📒 Mantine DataTable — a "dark-theme aware" table component for your Mantine UI data-rich applications, featuring asynchronous data loading support, pagination, multiple rows selection, column sorting, custom cell data rendering, row context menu, and more
• 🖱️ Mantine ContextMenu — A lightweight yet customizable context-menu for your Mantine applications, with a succinct API and dark-theme support
• ✨ tRPC-SvelteKit — an adapter allowing you to build end-to-end typesafe APIs with tRPC.io in your SvelteKit applications
• ✨ tRPC-Transformer — A simple tRPC transformer based on superjson with Decimal.js support
• 📦 PocketBaseUML — a free, open-source UML diagram generator for PocketBase that can be used online to connect to HTTPS servers, or runned as an npm package to inspect local HTTP servers
• 🐧 Expose-WSL — probably the easiest way to expose apps running on WSL to local network devices
• 🌐 IISExpress-Proxy — A simple, yet practical command-line utility enabling .NET developers to test web applications served by IIS Express on remote devices; it's been around since 2015, but I'm amazed by the sheer number of people who still have to use IISExpress nowadays
• 📖 textdiff-create and textdiff-patch — simple utilities for creating and applying lean text diffs
• 🛠️ ASPAX — a simple Node.js asset packager inspired by Rails, in 2013, when Webpack didn't exist
• ⚙️ Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL & MySQL cartridges for Redhat's OpenShift, in 2014-2015, when Docker wasn't yet a wide-spread tool

You can find my full-length boring obituary Resume/CV on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/icflorescu, but here's the blurb:

• 20+ years of experience in web and software development
• I've worked for various companies (from mid-sized to large multinationals such as Allianz and Garanta — member of National Bank of Greece) during the initial part of my career; for the last part I've been working as an independent developer
• I sometimes rant write about technology and its impact on human behaviour in articles like these.

❤️ open-source, lazy mornings, good coffee, trekking in the mountains, reading
👎 hypocrisy, xenophobia, willful ignorance, people talking bullshit

I'm potentially interested in subcontracting front-end or full-stack development work (leaning towards front-end).

You can learn more about what I did over the years by visiting my LinkedIn profile, but since you are on this page, chances are that you already have a pretty good idea of how my skills could be of assistance.
If you want to hire me, please consider that I'm most productive with the aforementioned tech-stack.

Drop me a message at the email address listed in my GitHub profile and we'll schedule a meeting on cal.com/icflorescu.
