Personal skills
I am a person inclined towards communication, creation and balance. I have obtained along my working experience abilities to shape and organize my own working environment, and not just my own.
I posses the ability to see in great detail but also to contemplate the bigger picture. The whole meaning of events and situations. This helps me make decisions and organize my planning of actions to take.
I wish to know, to learn, to become more then I already am.
Other skills
E-mail, web-surfing knowledge, social media & everything else - advanced.
MS Office or similar packs - advanced & proficient.
Image editing skills - Corel Draw, Photoshop, GIMP, Inkscape - good.
Unix-based GUI programs (open-sourced free OS) - good.
I am a WordPress developer with over 5 years experience in building and managing websites. I usually work in LAMP stacks, as a favorite but I have worked on Windows servers, on dedicated WordPress services such as Flywheel or on fully managed WordPress solutions, custom-built.
I can also manage anti-virus programs, firewalls and other basic and non basic software. Also basic and more complex maintenance for computers: software and hardware. I can also manage a small network of computers.
Overview
Internet
I have gone through all the phases of internet communication: mIRC (bit hit in Romania for 5 or so years), DC++, forums, online diaries (we didn't call them blogs yet), personal profiles on various early social networking sites, and eventually blogging.
There are two in particular that I loved and pursued above the rest: online forums and blogging. Both are similar in that they build communities, both thrive when people communicate and share information and experiences, and both are real people-connectors. Since I was 13 years old I was fascinated with the way the Internet works, and have been so ever since. The friendships I built off of forums and blogs are still going strong: one of those friends is my husband now. And I manage his own website, alongside mine.
Begginings
At 17 I took my first crack at building html - basic - websites, with an amazing and astounding failure, of course. At 22 I tried again, only on the web-design part of it. Another failure, another lesson.
Writing
In 2005 I started my first online diary: a forum-hosted one. A year later, on Yahoo! 360 I started one after another a couple more "blogs": they called them. I started experimenting with themes, colors, layouts.
But my true and everlasting love, above all else is WordPress. I have been an advocate and a supporter of WordPress among my friends ever-since I first grasped what it fully meant.

Open-source & WordPress
I am also a supporter of open-source software, a Linux User (since Ubuntu 9 and 10), and a believer in freedom, elegance and quality: am I a WordPress fan, or what?
I have actually convinced bloggers to switch from other platforms onto WordPress, and became their go-to person for trouble shooting. I have installed, modified, customized and built sites for them, further falling in love with this platform.

Responsabilities
During my work with Mediafax Group inside the company Uzina de Net Interactive I was in charge of three online projects:
SuntGravida.ro 2012 to 2013
SuntMamica.ro 2012 to2013
Fanclub.ro 2011 to 2013
All three projects have an informative component but also a strong socialization facet to them. During this period I oversaw the existing functionality, improved the operation & use of existing sections and added new options to the websites – in both administrative and end user terms.
All three projects have been in a re-launch phase from the time they became my responsibility. Thus, I re-drafted, redesigned and re-imagined the site architectures, and worked with the wire-framing, design and programming teams. I kept close contact with content writers, we held small classes in writing, SEO writing and internal link building.
I worked extensively on existing information and content for the sites, reorganizing and modifying databases thoroughly. None of the projects was an exclusive priority, so as to receive first place among other projects in development, while in programming or re-design phases.
Nevertheless I managed to put in place and in working order every project with great attention to detail and to the user experience online. The main achievement I can name is having our team working closer together and building functional relations and friendships between all team members and in this way creating a flowing and efficient workflow.
RVE Bucuresti
Reporter & Redactor · Bucharest, Romania · Jul 2008 to 2014 ·
I have worked and learned with RVE Bucharest for about 4 years.

I am currently acting as a reporter, and continuing to learn from the experience.

My main responsibility is to liaise with the company's main customers: Metro and Real store chains.
Managing the entire process: from making orders, to delivery and solving any problems. I managed to make it so that relationships with our key accounts (and key accounts people) be more robust. I also worked on procedures so that any issues be resolved as soon as possible, preferably within 24-48 hours.
Regarding our end users I have had a high enough rate of return for our type of business (equipment pieces have a longer replacement time, and equipping a kitchen is a one time event) but customers who needed other products other than their initial purchase, would contact us again before other businesses.
