About Me
Hi, my name’s Valentin and I’m a Computer Science Student, currently based in Arad, Romania. I enjoy learning and working with computers and especially tinkering with Virtual Machines and Operating Systems. My experience as an IT instructor helped with my communication skills as well as helping me become a better person and leader. I am most skilled in: Linux and Virtualization.
Experience
The automotive industry is constantly growing and cars are getting increasingly more tech-focused which means a lot of programmers and developers are needed. This is what helped me discover AROBS and their Embedded C Internship program. During this internship I learned a lot of techincal skills, such as how Git works and how effectiv proper teamwork is.
A lot of children nowadays get increasingly curious about how computers work and especially how their favorite games work. This is where I step in, working as an IT Instructor, I helped teach children how computers work and think, helping them think mathematically and logically. Logiscool also offers a Robotics course which I also taught, it based on Lego Mindstorms and coding in their proprietary platform. The children where taught using ScoolCode, a proprietary coding language based on Scratch and JavaScript.
Every company needs its websites properly administered and Aquamar Solutions is no exception. Keeping a retail company working is hard and I made sure the online part stayed up-to-date and working. During my time here I worked on 4 websites that were part of the company simultaneously, and learned a lot about WordPress and HTML5 + CSS.

Projects
Private VPN running on a VPS abroad
This project was much more useful than I initally thought.
I started this project as a way of both learning how a VPS works and to delve deeper into bash shell. I have learned many skills through this and am very proud of having this in my portfolio. The project is based on Algo VPN and runs flawlessly and fast enough to stream 4k video on multiple simultaneous devices.
