About me

I'm Andrei Popescu, a software engineer working mainly with Python and modern web technologies. I build the unglamorous software that keeps a startup running — data pipelines, internal tools and automations.

Engineer Out of Smoke is the name for what I like doing most — taking a process that lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and people's heads, and turning it into a system that works the same way every day.

I work in small, fixed-scope packages because they keep things honest — you know what you'll get, when, and for how much. I'm based in Romania and work remotely, in English or Romanian.
