About Me

George in Central London

Introduction

My name is George Ungureanu Vrânceanu. If you can not pronounce that, do not worry, I can barely pronounce it myself.

I am a 22-year-old Romanian Software Engineer, who immigrated to the United Kingdom in order to study computing at Imperial College London. I have always loved computers and I have been passionate about technology from a very young age.

My hobbies include handball refereeing, going to the gym, playing video games, more recently, finance, and, at the risk of sounding a bit cliché, programming.

I always try to be active both on GitHub, where I am always working on a project (this little website included), and on social media, so feel free to give me a star or a follow at the links below:

Here are some programming languages and technologies that I have learnt and practiced over the years. Even though I have not used them in a professional environment yet, I am confident that I would be up to speed with any team in a very short time.
