About

Septimiu Ujica

Full Stack Web Developer and DevOps Engineer with a passion for IoT, system automation and developing custom software solutions from scratch, with a particular interest in end-to-end ownership of the web stack, from edge proxies to backend services, approaching system design with a security-first mindset.

I have extensive experience in developing and scaling complex systems, from conceptualization to deployment, often taking ownership of technical decisions that shape how systems evolve over time. With a solid understanding of programming languages and modern development and deployment practices, I treat infrastructure as code, focusing on building systems that are reliable, secure, and maintainable, while considering long-term impact and real-world constraints.
