Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarius Popa is a pragmatic full-stack engineer and long-time Linux sysadmin with 15+ years blending systems reliability and application development from his base in Mureș, Romania. At Reea he splits time between backend APIs in Python and Ruby, TypeScript frontends, and C++/Unreal work for VR, while maintaining a deep specialty in relational databases—especially FirebirdSQL—where he contributes drivers and patches across PHP, Perl, Ruby and Python ecosystems. He brings uncommon depth in SQL optimization and low-level DB interfacing, paired with hands-on cloud experience across AWS, GCP, Azure and DigitalOcean. A veteran contributor and evangelist in the Firebird community, he pairs practical DevOps skills with a hacker’s curiosity for elegant code and performance tuning. Comfortable from embedded Qt/C++ and Android to Django/Flask REST APIs and Node.js drivers, he tends to surface non-obvious fixes that save CPU and operational headaches.
