I'm an idea enthusiast who dreams of one day integrating all my passions into a bigger project. I'm a technology, psychology and PR graduate, and I feel that creating, developing and promoting iOS applications allows me to integrate all these directions into small projects - small gems, which both delight and help people. The result, purpose and interface of an app mean more to me than the actual coding process, and this is actually what my fuel is in the development process: purpose.

Open Horizons Scholarship, Dinu Patriciu Foundation
Graduated with Distinction
2011 - 2012
The educational program was focused on both engineering and business management, with particular interest in project management. My dissertation paper was an extension of the knowledge of algorithm implementation (pattern recognition) I accumulated during this one year master’s, and dealt with the implementation of a novel algorithm for SAR estimation inside the human body. I believe this master was of particular importance to me from the point of view of the exposure to a multicultural environment and as a powerful life experience which made me want to return to London.

Graduated 5th (2011)

Education
I enjoy acting and I do it as often as opportunities arise. I’m also keen on reading latin-american authors and on reading and debating crime-stories. I find it mind-challenging and imagination-stimulating. I’m a huge running fan, particularly of sprinting, as I used to be a junior athlete and I believe that there is a very strong connection between body and mind. I'm also a huge feline lover! Roar!
