Hi, I'm

Dragos Grigorie

I'm a |

Junior Software Engineer based in London, building reliable and efficient software and IT solutions.

About Me

I'm a 2nd year Software Engineering student at the University of Bolton, currently working as a Junior IT Engineer at iov42 in London. I like building things that actually work, clean code, reliable systems, and solutions that don't need constant babysitting.

Before moving into software I spent a few years in IT support, which gave me a solid foundation in how systems behave in the real world. That background still shapes how I approach development today.

Outside of work and study, you'll find me gaming, out fishing, or just spending time in nature. I speak English, Spanish, and Romanian.
