As I have said on multiple occasions, I think Roweb offers you a family atmosphere where you are encouraged to grow and feel fulfilled. And I see that from all points of view: professionally, personally, financially. Thus, I found the motivation I needed and my career was shaped around people with the same passion as me: programming.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">A memory from the first years in the company that nothing will erase from your mind.<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sorin Tarceatu:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> I think the friendly atmosphere from the beginning is something great to remember. Also, we used to joke a lot, go out together and get to know each other, besides the working environment. It was the time of clubs and discotheques. There are a few parties that I remember, and that will remain in my mind for a long time because I felt very good.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Roweb as it was when you joined the company vs Roweb of today.

Otherwise, Roweb has grown a lot from all points of view: employees, projects, technologies, investments and clients. We started as a small firm and became an IT company, in a competitive market, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roweb.ro\/aboutus\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">three offices in three big cities.<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What made you choose IT, and how did you choose it?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sorin Tarceatu:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> I initially had a passion for the technical side. I attended a technical high school with a Computer Science profile and then a Computer Science faculty. I was watching movies, I liked computers, I used to like the idea of \u200b\u200b\u201dhacking&#8221; &#8211; as it was presented then.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">My story is not much different from that of my colleagues. However, in the beginning, until I really fell in love with computer science and moved to the next level of passion, I had several moments of &#8220;decline&#8221;. I took small grades in Informatics, including when Viorel (today Roweb\u2019s CEO) was teaching my class.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Who did you first work with within the team?

What I liked about this client is that he does not stop investing in digitalization. It is constantly changing, and he always wants to grow the project because he does not want to lose his competitive advantage.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What projects are you currently working on, and from what position?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sorin Tarceatu:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> At the moment, I am the Project Manager for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roweb.ro\/gdpr-compliant-hr-solution.html\">nGage<\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> &#8211; a project in the field of HR which simplifies the processes related to this industry, from job listings to salaries and invoices resulting from the activities carried out by the client.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What are the challenges in your project?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sorin Tarceatu:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Dividing time between various tasks about team and client management.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How did you evolve from a professional point of view in the company (job position, projects etc.)?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sorin Tarceatu:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> I like the diversity I have.
