About Me

Hey there! My name is Cristian and I like building nice things for the web.

I've been coding professionally for 4 years, but my love for building web interfaces started back in university 7 years ago - when I got completely absorbed by Vanilla CSS and the magic of making a webpage look just right. Today, I work with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, but that same obsession with detail sticks around: I want interfaces that feel effortless, load fast, and above all - just make sense.

My Everyday Stack:

• TypeScript
• React
• Next.js
• Tailwind CSS
• Git

Additional Technologies:

• Node.js
• Redux
• Vite
• Express
• Sass
• Three.js
• GitHub
• npm
• Yarn
• Figma
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Photoshop
• ClickUp
• Linear
• Slack
• Supabase
• React Flow
• Sentry

Alain was senior to Cristian but didn't manage Cristian directly

Cristian is a standout frontend engineer with a rare blend of creativity and technical precision. His keen eye for design and UX elevates his work, ensuring interfaces are not just functional but intuitive and polished. Whether working with React, Next.js, or TailwindCSS, Cristian tackles challenges with a methodical approach, consistently improving his solutions through feedback and iteration. What sets Cristian apart is his growth mindset - he absorbs new concepts quickly and applies them with care. His code reflects thoughtfulness and scalability, and his collaborative attitude makes him a valuable team player. I've seen him transform complex problems into elegant solutions, and his dedication to craftsmanship is evident in every project. Without hesitation, I'd recommend Cristian for any frontend role. He's the kind of developer who not only meets expectations but raises the bar for those around him.

Entrepreneur in Residence @ Press On Ventures | Consulting on AI Workflow Optimizations | ex-Google, Meta, Samsung

Michael was senior to Cristian but didn't manage Cristian directly

I was one of the founders of getitAI while Cristian was a frontend developer there. What always struck me about him was his ability to communicate clearly, understand feedback, and take action. He was always a pleasure to work with, and during our time working together, I saw tremendous growth in his technical ability and attention to detail. While it can at times be difficult for a non-technical PM to work with a developer, that wasn't the case here. Cristian was always willing to spend extra time clarifying an ask that I did not communicate clearly, and would proactively approach me with his own suggestions. I highly recommend working with Cristian if given the opportunity. I know I would do so again.

I had the pleasure of working with Cristian Sîrbu and was impressed by both his attentiveness and the steady progress he made as a Junior Frontend Engineer.

Cristian approached each task with care and focus, delivering good results and showing a clear eagerness to grow. He was quick to grasp new concepts and always open to feedback, applying it thoughtfully to improve the quality and maintainability of his code. His work was reliable and steadily improved over time, reflecting both curiosity and commitment. Cristian's technical foundation, coupled with his positive attitude and growth mindset, make him a strong addition to any frontend team. I'm confident he'll continue to evolve and bring increasing value wherever he contributes.
