Gabi Purcaru software engineer

I'm a passionate software engineer that takes pride in his work. Currently, I'm fighting fake accounts and platform abuse on Instagram. Here are some of my personal projects:

mule uploader
HTML5 resumable uploader for Amazon S3. It slices the files in JS, and then it uploads them piece by piece. At the end, S3 recreates the file from the pieces.
acceleratul.ro
Search platform for the Romanian railways. Built with React + ES6, Firebase, Material Design and ServiceWorker.
It also features a fancy, custom routing algorithm.
dedo.io
Fancy calculator with unit and currency support. A mix between spreadsheets, notepad and a bit of Wolfram Alpha.
Implemented with React, Material Design and CodeMirror. It features a mini programming language implemented in JavaScript with JISON.
