If you landed here looking for an older article of mine, you might not find it anymore. That’s not a bug — it’s a decision I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
After nearly three decades working in IT and remote sensing, I had accumulated a rather fragmented online presence: personal blogs, technical articles scattered across multiple platforms, experimental tutorials, posts that made sense when I wrote them but no longer reflect where I’m headed professionally.
I’ve decided it’s time for a thorough cleaning, and this year I have some time to get it done.
What changes
I’m rethinking my online presence from the ground up. In practical terms, this means a few things:
I’ve consolidated everything that matters into a single place — this website. Secondary blogs have been shut down or are being shut down. Older articles — the ones that no longer brought meaningful traffic and no longer represented my current level of expertise — have been retired. Not out of nostalgia or haste, but because a library of outdated content does more harm than good, both for the reader and for me.
In addition, the blog will become bilingual, with a primary focus on English, to reach a wider audience, particularly in the professional sphere. The old Romanian-language personal blog has been redirected to the Romanian-language section here.
Why now?
The reason is straightforward: I want what I publish to accurately reflect what I do. I mostly work in satellite image analysis, artificial intelligence for Earth observation, and software development for remote sensing. These are the areas where I have real experience, active projects, and relevant things to say.
In addition, many of my personal interests intersect with my professional work—particularly exploratory data analysis, electronics, and small-scale automation projects—and these will also be reflected on the blog.
Going forward, all content published here will be closely aligned with my research and professional activity, focusing on practical tutorials, case studies, tools, and insights derived from projects I am directly involved in.
There’s also a practical side to this. Maintaining multiple blogs in parallel was eating into the time I’d rather spend on my work, research, code, and new articles. On top of that, there were the costs: theme licenses, hosting plan, and paid plugins. Consolidating lets me drop some of those expenses and redirect resources where they matter.
Nothing of value is lost
If an older article was useful to you and you can no longer find it, I apologize for the inconvenience. Genuinely valuable content has either been updated and folded into this site or will be rewritten in better form. The rest served its purpose at the time.
The old articles haven’t vanished entirely — I will keep them in an archive. If you’re interested in a specific piece, get in touch, and I can either put it back online or send it to you directly.
If you have questions or you are looking for something specific, don’t hesitate to reach out.
