Rares Cristea is a Full Stack Developer and PhD candidate with 10 years of experience building and modernizing web and cloud-native systems, currently focusing on .NET 8 microservices and Azure at Bookster. He combines applied research and teaching at the University of Bucharest—where he advises on digital transformation and leads software engineering courses—with hands-on industry delivery, having built an in-house development team and secured large-scale university systems. Comfortable across Python, C/C++, JavaScript, React and .NET, he has shipped CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, and performance-driven refactors that saved institutions time and budget. His research background includes RL-driven autonomous testing and sustainability studies, reflecting an interest in practical prototypes that bridge academia and industry.
