2026 So Far

2026 has hit the ground running with incredible intensity. The year began with my first major concept, Clearize, which I built using a mix of logic and "vibe coding." Exploring this new workflow has been a revelation, and the project is now officially entering the home stretch. With the launch scheduled for the next 10-15 days, the nerves are there, but as the saying goes, if you don't try, you'll never know. This journey has solidified my passion for building accessible AI solutions for people who aren't yet familiar with the technology.

On the personal side, I recently crossed a major milestone by completing my first official race: a 10k in Cluj-Napoca. It was an unforgettable experience. The entire training block taught me the discipline of setting a high-stakes goal and the grit required to see it through to the finish line.

Just wrapped up my very first hackathon at Polihack, and it was an absolute blast! I got to do some great networking and learned a ton of new coding skills along the way. Even better? My team built a RAG tool for lawyers and took home 3rd place! I handled the frontend and UI for the website. Overall, I'm super happy with how everything turned out, but there's always room to level up. Next time, we're going for the win!

It's been an action-packed year so far, and I'm ready for whatever comes next.
