HELLO! I'M TEODOR FOTCIUC. A DIGITAL CREATOR, STUDENT & SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. FROM SUCEAVA, STUDYING IN IAȘI — YOU'LL FIND ME IN BOTH CITIES, JUST NOT AT THE SAME TIME :)
I'm Teo. I'm a student at Cuza (UAIC Iași), I'm from Suceava, and by now my laptop knows the train between the two cities better than I do.
In my first weeks at EconFaire, back in 2025, I was dragging boxes around in n8n to make apps talk to each other. A year later I was rewriting those same boxes in Python, with an AI in the middle reading technical documents. Later as an AI intern there, I built internal tools that real people open every morning. Trust me, that feels very different from a lab deadline. Somewhere in between, I spent a few months as a Scrum Master intern at Globant and found out that the hardest part of a project is rarely the code. It's usually the people, the plan and the "wait, who was supposed to do that?"
In my free time I build things I'd actually use: a meal planner that turns a weekly budget into a supermarket list, a 3D tour of the art school in Suceava that you steer just by scrolling, an ordering system for a pizzeria, and a website for a band.
If there's one thing that connects all of them, it's this: if I can't check that it works, it isn't done yet. That's why the pizzeria app has 318 tests, and why the band's chat assistant isn't allowed to invent a free date.
HYDRODYNAMICS // ZERO DRAGCADENCE // DEEP FOCUSVERIFIABILITY // 318 TESTS
A local, verified video/photo pipeline for short social clips.
A typed CLI over the Kinocut editor, running entirely on one machine — no cloud, no API keys, and sources are never modified. Thirty-eight commands cover the work: matting a person out of video with a flicker score, alpha-aware upscaling, foot-pinning with contact shadows, colour transfer and relighting, Whisper subtitles, narration, stem separation, sidechained music and 9:16 reframing. No render is reported as done until it has been probed and checked against what was asked for.

teodor://trupa9-site
A live band site with a booking assistant and an admin panel.
The band's live site, with a booking assistant in the chat. It is never given prices, and a taken date reaches it as nothing but taken — so it cannot invent an availability, and any failure drops it back to deterministic answers from the calendar. Behind it: an admin panel for the calendar, requests and member accounts, an audit log that records what was done but never message text, rate limits held in the database, and daily backups. One dependency; the server, database and templating are standard library on purpose.

tur 3d scoala artelor• TypeScript • React • Three.js
A scroll-driven 3D virtual tour of a school building.
A one-page 3D tour where scrolling flies the camera through the school — two floors, four rooms. Nothing is an imported model: the walls, floors, window openings and the props inside are built in React Three Fiber, driven by config files rather than code. Scroll progress maps onto Catmull-Rom curves for camera position and look direction, with waypoints packed tighter near the rooms so the camera slows there. Phones and tablets drop to a lighter effect tier to hold the frame rate.

A Romanian meal planner that turns a weekly budget into a shopping list.
An Expo / React Native app built for the Romanian market. A nine-step wizard collects the supermarket, household size, cooking days, meals per day, budget, cuisine preferences, dietary restrictions, kitchen appliances and store snacks; a budget solver then builds the week's menu and aggregates it into a shopping list split across the seven real supermarket aisles — in whole packages to buy, not just the grams a recipe calls for. It runs fully offline on local storage; Supabase cloud sync and Gemini Flash meal swaps are optional on top.

voice chat pizzerie• Python • FastAPI • SQLite
An ordering system for a pizzeria, from the menu to the kitchen screen.
A pizzeria's ordering system, built as a domain package the web layer only calls into: prices, cart rules, order state, kitchen capacity and delivery zones are pure logic, held by 318 tests. Addresses are checked against the city's streets and house numbers imported from OpenStreetMap, so a delivery outside the zone is refused before the order is taken. Ordering, kitchen and driver screens stay in step over a WebSocket. The voice agent it is named for is the next phase.

03If one fails, the core keeps serving the rest
04Reactive dashboard over an async core
An internal HR web application built as a modular monolith.
An internal HR platform whose feature modules are auto-detected and activated at startup, each with its own database migrations, so a failing module is isolated while the core keeps serving. The core also keeps an immutable audit log of every data change. Python/FastAPI with async SQLAlchemy on the back end, React 18 + TypeScript on the front. My work is on the module and dashboard side.

Porting a no-code n8n workflow to pure Python: from a prototype that 'usually works' to a system you can truly rely on.
I learned how to turn a prototype that 'usually works' into a system you can truly rely on. Last year I was working in n8n with no-code automations. This year I rewrote that exact workflow in Python, essentially 'translating' my own previous work. The pipeline receives technical documents, but the most important part wasn't the AI — it was the verification checks around it: an LLM is like a very smart colleague who sometimes invents things with confidence. I also ensured that the same request sent twice never generates two reports. Nobody wants things twice, except maybe their paycheck.
