Top SchoolDragos Popa is a Senior Full Stack Developer with nine years of experience building performant, production-grade web applications from UI to CI/CD. Based in Cambridge, he has driven measurable improvements at Darktrace—reducing bundle sizes by 20%, cutting core workflow load times by over 80% after fixing memory leaks, and introducing automated UI testing to speed safe change delivery. He combines strong front-end React skills and accessibility awareness with backend Python tooling and scalable data aggregation, while also optimizing CI/CD pipelines and Docker-based deployments. Unusually for a software engineer, he applies 3D modeling (Blender) expertise to improve application performance and visual fidelity, and he has a track record of mentoring teams and shortening onboarding through clear setup documentation. Now at i2 Group, he continues to blend hands-on engineering with workflow optimization and pragmatic leadership.
