Projects

WebRaptor is the company I started back in 2005. It offers web development and related solutions to clients in Romania and European Union. The primary goal of the company is to become one of the most prestigious and competitive web development companies in Romania. So far, so good!

Web International Awards was started in 2006. It's focus was providing a ranking system for web developers worldwide which was powered by monthly web development contests. In 2009, focus was shifted to a web development blog, but yearly contests will still be held.

Stationery Wall was launched on September 1st, 2010, and is a website that showcase extraordinary and incredible stationery designs from designers and companies all over the world!
