About

Two halves of the same craft

Engineer by trade, designer by instinct, and at home in product conversations. I turn business requirements into shippable, well-crafted software.

Developer

Always up to date with the latest trends in technology, writing highly-efficient, well-structured and maintainable code

Portrait of Adrian-Gabriel Manduc

Designer

Transforming requirements into complex flows and layouts, with a passion for designing unique and appealing interfaces

  • Product-minded

    I care about why we build, not only how. User flows, metrics and trade-offs are part of the engineering work, not an afterthought.

  • Requirements to roadmap

    I translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions and realistic plans, bridging product and engineering teams.

  • Cross-functional by default

    Comfortable with designers, product managers and stakeholders, from startup prototypes to large enterprise codebases.

Move your pointer to spin

On AI & writing code today

I believe developers should fully embrace AI, and I use it to its full potential every day. Writing code has never been more accessible, and that is a good thing. What still makes the difference is understanding the people you build for, and solving their problems with elegant, well-crafted solutions.
