Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIonut Balcau is a versatile software engineer with 12 years of experience designing API services, internal management systems, and full web applications, currently contributing at Cradlepoint (Ericsson). He brings strong backend expertise across PHP, MySQL, Python/Django and Node.js while also delivering front-end work with JavaScript and AngularJS on single-page applications. His career spans startups and enterprise security and networking firms like Cybereason and Ericom, showing an ability to adapt from rapid product iterations to larger-scale, production-grade systems. Quick to learn and comfortable across the full stack, he favors Linux-based workflows and pragmatic toolchains (Git, Sublime Text). Based in Bucharest, he pairs a Computer Science degree from the University of Bucharest with a history of building integration-focused platforms (APIs, geo-aware services) that bridge third-party data and internal operations. An underrated strength is his willingness to step into unfamiliar areas to deliver end-to-end solutions rather than staying confined to a single layer.
