AI-First Systems Engineer · Cluj-Napoca, RO

From silicon to cloud — I ship the whole stack.

35+ years across embedded, IoT, robotics, mobile, web, and backend. I architect and build complete product stacks — schematics and PCB through firmware, cloud, and the app on your phone. AI-first development is how I cover that ground solo.

Loomcycle — agentic runtime

One Go binary that owns the LLM tool-use loop across six providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Ollama cloud + local). 14 built-in tools, MCP-native, UNIX-style operator/caller trust separation. ~30 MB resident, no external dependencies.

Who decides which URLs an agent can visit? It's not the runtime.

A Sunday production-deploy test caught a structural gap: agents that find URLs via WebSearch can't fetch them, because the allowlist is pre-enumerated and discovery isn't. Per-call host widening via Pre-hooks (v0.8.17) moves the decision to the service that has the context.

Our MCP server authenticated everyone as me.

We added MCP to fix one auth leak — typed schemas, bearer tokens out of the model's view — and quietly created another. A shared developer bearer resolved every user's agent calls to my user_id. The story, and the per-run bearer mechanism (v0.8.14) that fixed it.

How I burned $80 on Claude Code in a Sunday afternoon.

A parallel-spawn loop. 100 claude code --print instances. MacBook Pro M1 fan at maximum. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY inherited via execve. Opus 4.7 on a dumb classification task. The bill: $80. Anthropic's robot denied reimbursement. The architectural lesson became loomcycle.

About

AI-first methodology. Full-spectrum delivery.

I architect and build complete product stacks for connected devices, robotics and IoT systems. That means schematics and PCB design, mechanical work in CAD/CAM, 3D printing, CNC milling — through firmware, cloud infrastructure and the user-facing application.

AI-first development is my core methodology today. From AI-assisted coding to multi-agent orchestration pipelines that automate complex workflows end-to-end. It's a force multiplier — I deliver what traditionally required a cross-functional team, faster, with broader coverage across the stack.
