I co-founded both of them and I'm still in an active role at each - leading technology day to day. Which means the advice you get has been tested in production, on real teams and real budgets, in businesses I have skin in.
None of it is a solo act. Claudiu, our COO, keeps two companies - and me - running on schedule, and István, our CMO, can make an HR workflow sound like a movie trailer. They run operations and growth, I get to stay in the terminal. Best deal I've ever signed.
Digital & IT outsourcing · est. 2017
We started Pixel Solutions in Sibiu in 2017 as a digital agency and grew it into a digital & IT outsourcing company - delivering web platforms, ecommerce, automation and cloud projects for clients across industries.

Papervee was born inside Pixel Solutions: we needed a sane way to digitalize our own HR processes and everything on the market felt archaic. So we built it - today it automates HR workflows for 500+ companies and keeps expanding internationally.

Architecture reviews, automation roadmaps and AI-readiness assessments. I look at your processes and tell you exactly where technology pays off first - and where it doesn't.
Hands-on building, alone or with the Pixel Solutions team behind me: AI features, automation pipelines, integrations and ecommerce flows - shipped to production.
Ongoing CTO-level partnership for teams that want senior technical judgment on tap: technology strategy, vendor decisions, team and delivery process.
