Hi, I'm Manea Ionut
I build products end to end, with AI in every step.
Senior full-stack engineer in Brașov, Romania. Front end, back end, data, cloud and AI features: nearly five years of taking products from the first idea to production.
Selected work
Four projects that show the range: AI infrastructure, developer tooling, a full platform and a large rewrite.
One MCP layer across all our products
Model Context Protocol servers that let Claude Code, Claude Desktop and our own agents work with every product's data, safely.
- Multi-tenant servers in TypeScript and PHP, all sharing one security model
- Google OAuth for people, scoped tokens for agents, per-tenant field rules and confirmed writes
- Audit logs with redaction, rate limits and encrypted secrets
Built with TypeScript, PHP, MCP SDK, Express, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud, Cloudflare Tunnel
AI developer tooling the whole team uses
Agents that write, review and test code, and an assistant that answers questions about any product straight from its source code.
- Coding agents that take a well-written issue to a reviewed, merged pull request
- AI test automation: agents write test cases and Playwright scripts, then run them in parallel with video and traces
- Every run is isolated in a Daytona or Cloudflare sandbox, with Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, R2 and AI Gateway behind it
Built with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Daytona, Cloudflare Workers, GitHub Actions, Playwright
A complete platform, built solo
A case-management platform for a regulated industry, from the data model to the last screen.
- Randomized scheduling engine with configurable protocols
- Real-time compliance monitoring with escalations by SMS and email
- Role-based access control, immutable audit trails and validation on every write
Built with Vue 3, TypeScript, Node.js, Strapi, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Twilio, Mailgun
A large rewrite, and a faster backend
Modernising products that are already in use, without stopping them.
- Led the move of a multi-tenant platform from Vue 2 and server-rendered PHP to Vue 3 and TypeScript, in a team of six
- Built the shared component library used across every module
- Tuned database queries and API endpoints so pages stay fast as the data grows
Built with Vue 3, TypeScript, PHP, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL

Experience
Dec 2021 to now
Senior Software Engineer, Ikon Soft
Started on the front end and grew into full-stack ownership. I've built and led work on laboratory, clinical trial, ticketing and case-management platforms, and today I also build the AI tooling the team uses every day. Much of it is regulated software, so security, audit trails and careful data handling come built in.
2020
Learning the web
Taught myself web development and earned the freeCodeCamp certifications in Responsive Web Design and Front End Development Libraries.
