About me
I’m a PHP developer with more than 15 years of experience building and maintaining web applications, e-commerce platforms and software shaped around business needs.
I’m currently part of the Quick Sell team (Acqua Development), where I develop and maintain a SaaS platform for travel agencies. The work covers both building new features and solving problems in a complex codebase, and integrating and processing data from external suppliers’ APIs.
Over my career I have worked on very different projects, from presentation sites and custom-built applications to complex online stores, internal platforms and systems integrated with external services. That gave me a broad view of web development, from code and databases to infrastructure, e-commerce and keeping applications healthy once they are in production.
I like to understand not just the technical requirement but the context it comes from. My complementary experience in e-commerce, digital marketing and infrastructure helps me look at a project beyond the implementation itself and choose solutions that fit the real needs of the product and the business.
You’ll find concrete examples in the Work section
Over time I have tried to extend my experience beyond development itself, both by getting involved in varied projects and by taking on responsibilities that helped me understand the business side of a software product.
Between 2014 and 2016 I also tried entrepreneurship, founding my own company, SYNCDEV SRL. It let me see a project not only as a developer but also through client relationships, estimating and organising projects, costs, and the decisions it takes to sustain a product or a service.
The lessons from that period shaped the way I have worked since, and how I see the link between technical work and a business’s real goals. In September 2026 I relaunched SYNCDEV SRL, this time with two products of its own: Harmoniq, for HR and employee performance, and ELVPro, for vehicle dismantling and parts sales.
Yes, but still...
I don’t believe in using a technology just because it’s fashionable or looks more sophisticated. For me, choosing a solution has to start from the project’s real needs, its complexity, and how it will be used and maintained over time.
Sometimes the best solution is custom development. Other times a CMS or an existing platform solves the problem faster, more safely and for less. What matters is that the tool fits the purpose, not making the implementation more complicated than it needs to be.
I prefer clear solutions that are easy to maintain and fit the business context. Where it’s needed, I build from scratch; where there is already a solid foundation, I’d rather build on it efficiently.
What I do
What people I’ve worked with say
Over the years I have built and supported projects for companies with different needs and business models. A few of them on working together:
Liviu is the developer you want to work with. He’s thorough and communicative. Your future website is in good hands.
Super, nothing but congratulations. It’s very user-friendly. The website looks great and the homepage is beautifully organised. Good job, it wasn’t easy work! I’m proud we are partners. A wonderful team that responds reasonably to special requests. We never had a requirement that wasn’t solved!
We have been using the platform for 4 years and we are now on version 2.0. It covers practically everything you need to run an online store, and when there are special needs it can adapt to any requirement from the user. We had some specific requirements that were implemented quickly. Having APIs from courier companies, accounting software, promotion platforms (newsletter and SMS) and online payments built in makes the user’s work much easier. You generate invoices and AWBs with a single click and have all the information about customers, orders, history, payments, sales and stock at hand, all in a user-friendly layout.
It is a robust and at the same time flexible platform, with all the features a complex online store needs. The admin area is intuitive and well structured; it helped us easily manage a range of more than 2,000 products.
We wanted an online store platform that wouldn’t take a percentage of our sales, that could be easily changed, and that would offer ongoing support for the harder tasks. We are very happy with how flexible the platform is. SyncSHOP let us create a unique online shopping experience for our customers.
