GLOBE-CoP: Data Space Online Learning Platform
A cloud-native, Udemy-style learning marketplace (instructors publish HD courses and live webinars, learners get recommendations, forums and progress dashboards) deployed on Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) with full CI/CD and observability.
- Built the responsive frontend (ES6+, SASS, Flexbox/Grid) with search, enrolment, playlists and in-browser HLS video playback.
- Designed the backend: Node/Express REST APIs plus Flask micro-services for auth, Stripe/PayPal payments and recommendations, secured with JWT; RBAC for Admin/Instructor/Student.
- Dockerised every service and deployed with Helm to EKS/GKE; GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines build, scan and test (Jest, pytest, Selenium) and push signed images.
GREENUS: Ambassador learning & certification platform
A Udemy-style platform dedicated to training, evaluating and certifying Greenus ambassadors: on-demand courses, live webinars, structured certification paths, assessments, digital badges and a community layer.
- Architected and implemented the platform: on-demand video courses, live webinars, certification paths, assessments, digital badges and certificates.
- Built the responsive frontend (ES6+, HTML5, CSS3/SASS) and the backend: Node.js/Express REST APIs plus Flask micro-services for authentication, certification management, payments and recommendations, secured with JWT.
- Modelled data across PostgreSQL/MySQL and MongoDB for profiles, certification progress, content, community interactions and audit logs.
HRS4R@UPB: Human Resources Strategy for Researchers
The website of POLITEHNICA Bucharest's Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R), presenting how the university supports and develops its academic and administrative staff.
- Took over the existing PHP platform and updated it: code clean-up, dependency and security updates, and fixes across the site
- Redesigned the interface: a modern, responsive layout and clearer navigation, consistent on desktop and mobile
- Deployed and run it on the university's private cloud, with Docker and an Nginx reverse proxy on Linux
SIMPATIC: participant file and e-signature platform
A web platform where participants in the SIMPATIC training programmes check their data, sign their annexes electronically, upload an ID document and then download their continuing-education certificate, with an admin panel for the project team.
- Built the React and TypeScript frontend and the Express API with JWT authentication, SQLite storage and PDF generation.
- Implemented the signing flow (drawn signature applied to every annex, re-signing after changes, GDPR consent with its own PDF) and the final confirmation that unlocks the certificate.
- Built the admin panel with filters, editable participant files, issue tracking and streamed ZIP archives.
