I've just hit 5k connections on my LinkedIn account.

I want to thank everyone who has connected with me; I truly appreciate it.

I want to reintroduce myself: I'm Vlad from Romania, Europe, passionate about tech, travel, and audiophile music.

Nice to meet y'all. ✌️

I did the Rewind on Linkedin. Thank you to all who have been following me for a while.

Really much appreciated!

I'm old on LinkedIn, but I started this year to be more active and post content — hopefully bringing value to the community as much as I can.

I wish everyone a nice holiday!!!

— I started with Java Android and worked on it for years.

In the end, I ended up doing Android and iOS native.

🧢 I don't get it why some developers were complaining about IDE.

Actually I've been working with more than one IDE.

For Mobile, I've worked with all of them, sometimes simultaneously:
- Android Studio
- IntelliJ
- Xcode
- VSCode

This is me, already have authority on LI ( 4k+ ).
