Not your average full stack developer.

Developing sustainable and elegant code without sacrificing simplicity.

VICTOR TREABA

Software Development done simple

It's not about the lines you can write; it's about the lines you don't have to write.

With a passion and curiosity for breaking the limits on what can be done, I believe that making code beautiful does not have to mean constantly adding to its complexity - anyone can increase a code base, but being able to reduce and simplify one while keeping its functionality intact is an exciting challenge.

Strengths and Skills

Always willing to learn and approach a new challenge no matter the difficulty.

JavaScript/HTML/CSS with and without libraries such as jQuery and React.
Experience with Server-side Java and JSP technologies using Apache Tomcat.
Objected oriented and functional programming in Scala and Play framework.

EXPERIENCE

Sept. 2015 - Sept. 2018

Education (Master's in CS)

Graduating high school in 2015, the start of my senior year was when I began coding and became the president of the Computer Science club.

Going all out I spent only two years for my Bachelor's and one for my Master's.

Freecodecamp Certifications

Constantly learning in your free time is great, but why not get an endorsement for what you do?

Chess Club (President)

After my first year of college, I became the president of NYU's only Chess Club. There I created NYUChess.com: a single Github page website using META tag hacks to function as a multi-paged website, which self updates using a REST API deployed on Heroku.

How to Train Your Palate

Do you wish you were omnipotent and could tell how good a recipe is without actually putting in the hours to make it?

In this research, I put my machine to the test and see if I could teach it how to taste and critique.

ABOUT

As an Australian-born Romanian I've been fortunate enough to travel the world since childhood. Oftentimes away from family and friends, the importance of technology in my life became ever more apparent after having moved to the States at the age of nine.

Technology is more than just a mere tool. It enabled me to stay connected (literally) with the friends I made across the seven schools I attended before college. It's an ecological change: a new medium that changes everything, not merely adding more features to society. Having such importance, I want to work with it to create applications to further advance the positivity that it can bring.

My passion goes beyond having played WoW for too long and leading a community there. Just as with cooking, the limits of creation are endless; this freedom gets me fired up. With technology, what I code is not limited to the dinner table - what I can do has a global reach.

If I can envision it I can create it. The hardest part is only getting started.

It's time to get serious.
