Alexandru Bolboaca’s Summary

I like to develop software, and my history shows that I do it well. I've learned it in a real project, with a mentor who slapped my hand whenever I did something wrong. I've tried to continuously improve myself and thus choose to walk the software craftsmanship path.

I like to teach people how to program better and to work side by side with them to build innovative software or solve "impossible" problems while also leveraging their potential. I do not have all the answers, but I like to find the good ones with the help of a team.

Currently I am working with MosaicWorks at creating the agile and software craftsmanship groups in Romania. Details of this activity are available on www.agileworks.ro

I am very passionate about software development; you can read about it in my blog - http://my.opera.com/alex_boly/blog
