A little about me
I'm Sergiu Giuglea, a software engineer based in Chichester, UK. I graduated with First Class Honours in Software Engineering and have spent the past few years building software for the web, desktop and Android, as well as working with cloud services, databases and AI.
Most of my work centres on C#, ASP.NET Core and SQL, building full stack applications with real time features. I enjoy exploring new technology, but choosing the right tools starts with understanding the problem. For me, good software should be useful, reliable and ready to grow with the people and businesses using it.
My projects have included mentorship platforms, taxi booking and dispatch systems, football communities, Android display boards, database tools and machine learning applications. I also built Signal, the AI assistant on this site, to answer questions about me and my work while keeping running costs low.
I'm open to freelance work, collaborations and business software projects. I like taking an idea through to something people can use, getting the details right and improving it as we learn what works. If you have something in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
Why work with me
Ships to production
Mentorise and GFS Taxi aren't demos. They're live, running, and maintained by me.
Full ownership
Database design, backend and deployment — one person accountable for the whole system.
AI-ready by design
Signal isn't bolted on. It's proof the architecture was built to let AI plug in cleanly.

Think you can out-run
the signal?
A small, pointless, extremely satisfying game. Collect data packets, dodge latency spikes, don't hit the walls.
