TPARK is the market leader in parking management solution, providing an innovative system for mobile parking payment. The system is deployed in over 50 cities across Romania and over 60 cities across Hungary. It has over 650,000 users, over 800,000 registered cars and over 8 million transactions processed (exclusively for parking).

Undoubtedly working at TPARK as a CTO was a big challenge for me. I've come across many difficulties and I constantly learned in the field of development, management, and business.

My main responsibilities were:

• maintenance of a big codebase of web and mobile technologies
• adoption of new technologies and tools for better development processes
• management of the development team
• involvement in extending the development team by hiring new people

Overall I was very satisfied for having such an opportunity to learn and grow.
