Hi, I'm Bogdan.

ABOUT ME

Hey! My name is Bogdan Niculescu and I'm a junior software developer with a passion for front and back-end development. I aspire toward a career that will allow me to channel my creativity through crafting beautiful software and engaging experiences. When I'm not on the computer, I enjoy playing music on my bass guitar or keyboard, playing basketball, computer games or travel.
