Summary
Cosmin Cioranu is a technology-curious leader with 9+ years of professional experience who currently heads the Information Technology Department at UEFISCDI in Bucharest. He began as a hands-on software developer across C/C++, Java, PHP and .NET, eventually architecting a PHP framework that powers national submission and evaluation platforms used by Romanian and European funding bodies. His background spans software architecture, GIS, networking and DevOps—designing secure, highly available services (VPN, BGP, IDS/IPS) and geospatial solutions using GeoServer/GeoTools. He has a track record of turning complex public-sector requirements into production systems and has led both development and infrastructure procurement. Unusually for a public-agency IT head, he still contributes technically as a software architect at RIDESAFE and retains deep implementation knowledge across databases, web servers and virtualization. With a master’s in Parallel and Distributed Processing Systems, he blends academic rigor with pragmatic, security-minded architecture.
