Hello, I'm Stefi!

My name is Stefi. I am a speciality coffee lover, skier, occasional longboard skater and someone who might spend way too much time watching YouTube videos.

I come from Romania, Brasov and currently, I live in Spain, Barcelona. I'm quite introverted and I used think a lot about switching to tech.

My engineering journey started two years ago. Although I didn’t pursue a computer science degree, I’ve naturally found my way to it. I’ve participated, hosted and presented at various tech meetups in Barcelona. For example, I've organized study sessions for the Facebook Developer Circle in Barcelona and in December 2019 I spoke ​at ​ ​QueerJS​ in Paris about The importance of community when transitioning to tech.

In addition to programming, I have over five years of experience in Digital Marketing and Communication roles which adds further insight and context to my professional approach.

I am self-motivated, a fast and keen learner and I believe in staying curious, and inquisitive about technology. Consequently, in Spring 2020, I participated in The Recurse Center, a self-directed, community-driven educational retreat in New York for programmers who enjoy coding and wish to further their skills and abilities in this field. In Summer 2020 I also graduated from CodeOp's “Product Management” course.

In my spare time, I enjoy watching educational and entertainment content on YouTube, reading, spending time with friends, and when restrictions allow, independent and adventurous travel!
