Adrian Bolboaca

VP of Innovation, Senior Trainer at Mozaic Works

With over 20 years of international experience in the world of software and transformations, Adrian shares about himself:

I want to help my clients improve their business. I was helped by my professors, colleagues and mentors to continuously improve. Whenever I write code I focus on reducing domain complexity to obtain robust, maintainable software.

The continuous improvement paradigm is important for the people I work with and for myself; this is why I like helping people, teams and businesses to become more adaptable and reach their goals.
