Profile.
Engineering degree in telecommunications from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and a master's in digital enterprise management from POLITEHNICA Bucharest. Currently reading economic informatics at ASE.
Through Codefix and Divina Digitale I build and migrate online stores — MerchantPro, WooCommerce, Gomag, Shopify, Wix — and write the Python that connects them to suppliers, ERPs and marketplaces. Alongside that I work as a field testing engineer, benchmarking 4G and 5G networks across Europe.
Practical and structured: clear thinking, consistent execution, and a preference for measuring something before arguing about it.

Beyond the code
Most of the job is people.
Five years of B2B and B2C work as a founder, administrator and manager. Running a one-person business means the client conversation is mine too — and that turned out to teach more than any framework did.
- 01
Client work, end to end
Scoping, quoting, setting expectations, delivering and supporting — across every project in the portfolio, B2B and B2C. There is no account manager between the client and me, so the awkward conversations are mine as well as the good ones.
- 02
Negotiation
Supplier negotiations in Poland, Turkey and the Netherlands over pricing, terms and logistics. On the ecommerce side, working out what a piece of work is actually worth and holding that line.
- 03
Running the business, not just the build
Founder behind Codefix and Divina Digitale, operated through WEB CODEFIX SRL, DEV CODEFIX SRL and BĂBȚAN DAVID-ADRIAN PFA. Registration, contracts, pricing, invoicing, and every other thing that is not code but decides whether the code gets paid for.
- 04
Coordinating under pressure
Benchmarking campaigns run to schedules that do not move, with international teams across 15+ countries and reports that other people's decisions depend on. A storefront failing during a sale does not wait either.
Platforms
Ecommerce platforms, by delivered projects.
- MerchantPro35 projects
- The platform I know best. New stores, migrations onto it, and custom code written on top of what the platform gives you: themes, product attributes, catalogue search, API extensions.
- WordPress13 projects
- Presentation sites and WooCommerce stores, built with code rather than a stack of plugins. Custom landing pages, product-level SEO, and merges of separate sites into one.
- Gomag5 projects
- Redesigns and builds written straight into the Gomag theme, with custom integrations and Python crawlers where suppliers offer no API.
- Shopify—
- Store setup, theme work and app integrations. No delivered project in the portfolio below yet, so there is no number next to it.
- Wix2 projects
- Presentation projects where the platform was the right call for the budget and for how often the client needed to change things.
- CS-Cart1 project
- Picked up both for redesigns and for migrations away from it.
