I'm a software engineer and the founder of Șofer Mentor, a Romanian mobile application focused on modernizing driving education through technology.

My work spans full-stack development, mobile engineering, backend architecture, real-time systems, and practical AI integrations.

With Șofer Mentor, I've been building a platform that connects driving theory preparation, lesson management, GPS tracking, video recordings, instructor assessments, and AI-generated feedback into one experience.

I'm particularly interested in the engineering challenges that emerge when software interacts with the physical world — from processing location data and synchronizing video to making AI-generated insights useful in everyday workflows.

Hey, I'm Nikita. By day I'm a strategy consultant at Founders Intelligence, part of Accenture & the Founders Forum family: I talk to startups and VCs, then turn that into strategy for corporate C-suites. I've helped run corporate accelerators and partnership labs (from Diageo Fusion to the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator), coaching founders, aligning corporate x start-ups interests, and making sure pilots with big corporates actually happen instead of dying in procurement. I ran 5 real-world startup x corporate pilots myself as part of corporate innovation strategy projects, and build well-rounded expertise in several areas, from energy & mobility to finance & sales.

By night I build. My three main projects are:
1) Sorta: a GUI for AI, exploring new interfaces for interacting with AI for research and knowledge workflows. Just coming out of stealth.
2) Klava: a BlackBerry-inspired iOS keyboard with my own on-device prediction engine, 27 languages and ~3k downloads, made solo with AI tools
3) BlokBlok.io: a niche marketplace, catalogue and community for fans of Mega - LEGO's biggest competitor. I saw a gap in the market, and always wanted to build something community-first.

I'm also a founding member of the 181 Angels syndicate, have backed about a dozen UK startups through that or crowdfunding, and worked with founders directly on a range of topics.

I am the Global Community Manager at Precogly, an open-source threat modeling platform, leading the charge in building and scaling a global community around our solution.

What I Do: I own the end-to-end community experience—from developer relations and AppSec engagement to strategic outreach targeting DORA/CRA compliance stakeholders. I orchestrate our presence across Discord, GitHub, LinkedIn, and X, creating touchpoints that matter.

My day-to-day includes running AMAs (Ask Me Anything) with security leaders, hosting webinars and product demos, executing outbound campaigns to developers and enterprise AppSec teams, and maintaining a direct feedback loop between our community and product team. I don’t just manage conversations—I shape product direction by translating user needs into actionable insights.

Working at the intersection of cybersecurity, compliance, and open-source community building, I’m helping redefine how security practitioners approach threat modeling. This role demands high discipline, consistent output, and comfort with rejection—qualities I bring to every outreach effort and community interaction.

Background: With 4+ years in Social Media Marketing and team leadership experience, I’ve delivered results across 10+ projects in Healthcare, Hospitality, Telecalling, and Education, specializing in Lead Generation, Campaign Management, and Community Growth.

I'm a Senior Engineering Manager with over 16 years of experience building and scaling technology platforms across retail and ecommerce. I lead engineering teams responsible for cloud infrastructure, platform modernization, and applied AI, with particular focus on bringing generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, and computer vision from proof-of-concept into reliable, production-scale systems across thousands of physical locations. I was part of an internal AI Champions program, helping train teams across the organization — not just a single centralized group — to build and scale their own AI-driven solutions, resulting in measurable improvements to both customer experience and internal operations. I'm passionate about the practical, often-overlooked engineering discipline behind real-world AI: rigorous evaluation, honest capacity planning, and leading teams through the tradeoffs that separate a working demo from a system that holds up at scale. I previously spoke at Dynatrace Perform 2023 on Cloud Journey and Observability at Scale.

Les projets réussissent rarement par la seule qualité d'une offre, d'une stratégie ou d'une équipe.
Ils réussissent lorsque la vision, les personnes, les compétences et les actions avancent dans la même direction.

Depuis plus de 20 ans, j'évolue à la croisée du design, du marketing, du développement commercial, de la communication et de la gestion de projet. Mon parcours m'a permis d'acquérir une vision globale des organisations et de comprendre comment relier des expertises parfois cloisonnées autour d'un objectif commun.

J'accompagne les dirigeants, les PME et les organisations dans leurs phases de création, de structuration ou de transformation en créant du lien entre stratégie, offre, communication, expérience client et développement d'activité.

Mon rôle consiste à clarifier une vision, structurer une offre, aligner les parties prenantes, faciliter la collaboration et transformer les intentions en réalisations concrètes.

J’interviens notamment sur :

✔️ Le positionnement et la valorisation des offres
✔️ La structuration du développement commercial
✔️ L’alignement entre stratégie, marketing, communication et expérience client
✔️ La conception de dispositifs, parcours et supports au service des objectifs
✔️ Le pilotage de projets transverses
✔️ La coordination d’équipes, de partenaires et de parties prenantes
✔️ L’accompagnement au changement et la montée en compétences

Ma pratique repose sur trois dimensions complémentaires :

1️⃣ Stratège : donner du sens, de la cohérence et une direction.
2️⃣ Conceptrice : transformer les idées en solutions concrètes et adaptées.
3️⃣ Facilitatrice : faire émerger, transmettre et mettre en mouvement.

Je crée du lien entre les idées, les personnes et les actions pour rendre les projets plus cohérents, plus fluides et plus créateurs de valeur.
