Summary
Dan Nicolici is a founder and hands-on software engineer with over two decades of experience tackling the toughest real-world technical problems across telecom, fintech, e‑learning and sports timing systems. He runs bitGloss to specialize in deep diagnostics and remediation—hunting race conditions, performance pathologies, and brittle infrastructure that other teams avoid—and also builds tooling for freelancers with worklog.ro. Comfortable across FP and OOP ecosystems, his toolbox spans Java, C#, Clojure/Scala/Elixir, Python, TypeScript and frontend stacks, reflecting a pragmatic polyglot approach. He pairs practical consulting and training with on-the-ground development, having previously architected systems for pre-trade risk, e-bike software and healthcare integrations. Based in Cluj-Napoca, Dan combines a maker’s longevity (first coding in the late ’80s) with a modern interest in functional programming and continuous learning, hosting the Mostly IT podcast to share insights with the developer community.
