Welcome to my personal page. I'm Iurie, a software engineer and former researcher in Physics based in Chisinau, Moldova. During my free time, I develop free software, study physics, and enjoy nature photography.
Software Engineering
I have worked in Automotive, Communication & Web Services, CAD & Engineering Software, Healthcare, and Science. I am currently working remotely as a Software Engineer and, while not actively looking, I remain open to long-term remote opportunities within EU timezones, either as a contractor/B2B or direct hire.
My primary programming languages are C and C++, with experience in the following areas:
- C, C++ API development: static/dynamic libraries, plugins, SDKs
- Multi-threaded and asynchronous programming
- Network programming: client-server, web services
- System programming: OS-level services, daemons, middleware, IPC
- GUI development: cross-platform desktop applications
- Real-time audio programming, audio plugins, synthesizers
- Development on GNU/Linux, Windows, and embedded operating systems
- Development of software for scientific measurements
- Physics, Mathematics, Research
Free Software
I have a passion for developing free software and have been working on a percussive synthesizer called Geonkick since 2017. It is used by musicians to synthesize their percussion sounds and is available for GNU/Linux and Windows, as a VST3 & LV2 plugin, and standalone.
I've also developed a small GUI toolkit called Redkite, suitable for embeddable UI and self-sufficient audio plugins. It's utilized by Geonkick for its UI. Inspired by Qt, Redkite features widgets, object connections, and object tree ownership. Its graphics backend is based on Cairo. Redkite supports GNU/Linux (XLib) and Windows (WinAPI).
Physics
From 2005 to 2013, I worked as an experimental researcher in optics of semiconductors. I have always been curious about fundamental physics, so I continue to read and study in this domain.
Photography, Music & More
In my free time, I enjoy nature photography and publish the photographs on Wikimedia Commons under the public domain. Additionally, in the past, I composed music solely using free software on GNU/Linux. I like learning about and caring for trees, and I am raising a small orchard of mostly wild fruit trees and shrubs as a wildlife habitat.
