Bucharest based Homo Faber, building a new product every year.
Side Projects
Back in January I was in a grocery store buying something feeling like prices changed drastically from only a week before.
I knew we were already rolling with high inflation but couldn't find a calculator to get a measure of how much our money is worth from year to year.
In March I started a new Javascript course and by half of it I knew I had to put it in some project, so this simple inflation calculator was born.
It features an easy clean design with explanations and a simple calculator that tells time value of money difference adjusted for inflation.
Pe Stop is a Bucharest based NGO that tackles local and national menstrual poverty.
In February we rolled out a new website that makes it easier for Pe Stop to engage with donors, volunteers and other third parties.

UX • branding
I have managed operations and corporate sales in the largest location in the Humanitas chainstore.
Having noticed the consultants did not have or use a report to follow-up on targets, streams and sales I have written an excel based report and dashboard to be used on a daily basis by my team. With the help of said report my team and I have hit and exceeded the monthly sales target for the first time in almost 4 years. This report would then gradually be adopted across the board in the whole chainstore.
