What I Do
-
Front-End Development
I specialize in HTML5, CSS3 & jQuery. I write clean, semantic, standards-based code. I have a sharp eye for details and I can transform a PSD into an optimized, pixel-perfect, SEO friendly web page that is compatible with all major desktop or mobile browsers.
-
Back-End Development
PHP/MySQL development is my specialty. I frequently use CakePHP framework or open-source solutions like Wordpress to GTD. I love to develop custom CMSs, e-commerce, web applications & SaaS. I constantly work to find innovative ways to solve problems.

Web Design
I design clean, simple and attractive user interfaces. When designing a website or web application I'm not only concerned about aesthetics, but also focus on accessibility, usability, functionality, user experience and responsiveness.
A Bit About Me
Hello! My name is Stefan Olaru and I'm a freelance web developer and designer living in Iasi, Romania.
The seeds of my web career began back in the 90s with a personal website built using Yahoo Geocities :). I spent a lot of time trying to find the right outlet, studied architecture, dabbled with 3D and graphic design but none gave me the infinite possibilities of the web and the same working enthusiasm. 15 years, thousands of days spent behind the screen, I now call myself a Web Developer with Web Design skills.
Prior to going full time freelance I worked 4 years as Chief Creative Officer for Conex Distribution, one of the major players in Romania's car parts market, where I developed a B2B e-commerce platform that is now used daily by thousands of car parts sellers.
Then I worked 2 years for Vuzum, a creative agency in my town, firstly as web designer then as web developer for in-house start-ups and other great projects.
When I'm not writing clean code and designing great user interfaces, I enjoy road trips, reading, cooking and good wine.
Get In Touch
I’m living in Iasi, Romania (GMT+2) but work with clients all over the world.
If you're interested in working with me or want to talk about anything else please use the info below to get in touch. I usually reply to emails within few hours.
