My main passions are BigData/Machine learning technologies as well as startups.

The first time I heard about Apache Hadoop technology was during a class on my master degree, and since then I've been fascinated about the Big Data world. I consider that my first big professional success is that in 2012 I was able to introduce Apache Hadoop technology in the company I was part of(Skobbler/Telenav). Since then I have been involved in big data and machine learning projects.

Out of this passion not only I founded the BigData/DataScience community in my city, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, but also I am co-founder of the Cluj.AI community. The goal of being involved in these communities is to meet new passionate people, to learn from them and be able to help other people adopt Big Data and ML technologies.
