• Typescript/JavaScript
• Node.js
• React, Next.js, Remix/ReactRouter, Tanstack Router, but I'm alsointerested in Svelte/SvelteKit
• React UI Frameworks I've been working with:
  • Mantine — I'm a contributor and also the author of 📒Mantine DataTable and 🖱️Mantine ContextMenu
  • Ant Design
  • MaterialUI
  • Blueprint.js
• tRPC — I'm a contributor and the creator of ✨tRPC-SvelteKit and ✨tRPC-Transformer
• Valtio &Zustand — I favor modern state-management solutions over plain Redux
• PostgreSQL,Prisma/ZenStack,Knex.js,DrizzleORM,Kysely,Hasura
• SQL in general; I have designed enterprise SQLServer/Oracle DB architectures while working for multinational companies in the past
• Worked withNextAuth, but I'm also interested inLucia
• PocketBase — I'm a fan of the lightest "back-end in one file" solution andthe creator of 📦PocketBaseUML
• Firebase (mostly firebase-auth)
• I have a few CSS tricks up my sleeve, a good understanding of the DOM, I'm fluent with CSS-in-JS, SASS/CSS-Modules, PostCSS, Emotion and I'm even good-enough at creating website/application designsfrom scratch; here are some examples:
  • The docs websites forMantine DataTable,Mantine ContextMenu,tRPC-SvelteKit andASPAX
  • yadda.ro,swapp.ro,boutiquetravel.ro,interiordelight™️,King's Host,AJM Fleet Purchase,sellcarbuycar.com,LeasingSH.ro,PocketBaseUML

Not a huge fan of Tailwind, but I cope with it well enough to be currently working on my own practical, opinionated component library based on shadcn/ui, soon to be open-sourced.

• PHP & MySQL, around y2k (yeah, I'vew been around a while)
• Java/J2EE, .NET/C#, Oracle, SQL Server, BizTalk, cca. 2002—2007
• CoffeeScript & IcedCofeeScript, back when when JS had no async/await
• Quite a few templating languages such asMustache orJade/Pug and some strange old JS frameworks (Backbone,Riot.js) in the pre-React era

• 📒Mantine DataTable — a "dark-theme aware" table component for your Mantine UI data-rich applications, featuring asynchronous data loading support, pagination, multiple rows selection, column sorting, custom cell data rendering, row context menu, and more
• 🖱️Mantine ContextMenu — A lightweight yet customizable context-menu for your Mantine applications, with a succinct API and dark-theme support
• ✨tRPC-SvelteKit — an adapter allowing you to build end-to-end typesafe APIs with tRPC.io in your SvelteKit applications
• ✨tRPC-Transformer — A simple tRPC transformer based on superjson with Decimal.js support
• 📦PocketBaseUML — a free, open-source UML diagram generator for PocketBase that can be used online to connect to HTTPS servers, or runned as annpm package to inspect local HTTP servers
• 🐧Expose-WSL — probably the easiest way to expose apps running on WSL to local network devices
• 🌐IISExpress-Proxy — A simple, yet practical command-line utility enabling .NET developers to test web applications served by IIS Express on remote devices; it's been around since 2015, butI'm amazed by the sheer number of people who still have to useIISExpress nowadays
• 📖textdiff-create andtextdiff-patch — simple utilities forcreating and applying lean text diffs
• 🛠️ASPAX — a simpleNode.js asset packager inspired by Rails, in 2013, when Webpack didn't exist
• ⚙️Node.js,MongoDB,PostgreSQL &MySQL cartridges forRedhat's OpenShift, in 2014-2015, when Docker wasn't yet a wide-spread tool

You can find my boring, full-lengthobituary LinkedIn profile atlinkedin.com/in/icflorescu, but here's the blurb:

• 25+ years of experience in web and software development
• I've worked for various companies (from mid-sized to large multinationals such asAllianz and Garanta —member of National Bank of Greece) during the initial part of my career; for the last part I've been working as an independent developer
• I sometimesrant write about technology and its impact on human behaviour inarticles like these.

❤️ open-source, lazy mornings, good coffee, trekking in the mountains, reading
👎 hypocrisy, xenophobia, willful ignorance, people talking bullshit

I'm potentially interested in subcontracting front-end or full-stack development work (leaning towards front-end).

You can learn more about what I did over the years by visiting myLinkedIn profile, but since you are on this page, chances are that you already have a pretty good idea of how my skills could be of assistance.
If you want to hire me, please consider that I'm most productive withthe aforementioned tech-stack.

Drop me a message at the email address listed in my GitHub profile and we'll schedule a meeting oncal.com/icflorescu.
