About

A few words about who I am and what I do.

Hey, I’m Ștefan — a solo founder, designer, and builder from Bucharest. I run XODO, my playful-but-professional web design studio where I craft modern websites, brands, and digital experiences with a focus on clean design, SEO, and usability.

I love experimenting with new ideas and turning them into full products. Some of the projects I’ve been working on include:

  • Yumly — a recipe platform with a personalized feed, premium plans, and features like “what’s in my fridge”, step-by-step cooking, and social recipe sharing.
  • GameLink — a game hosting brand built with WHMCS and a custom pixel-art style for Minecraft and beyond.
  • TheGafferHQ — a football news hub on Instagram covering transfers, kits, and global updates.
  • StrapSoles — a hype sneaker store selling designer kicks like Yeezy, Jordan, and Balenciaga.

Alongside my projects, I’m constantly learning and refining my craft — from building custom apps with Node.js, Laravel, and Strapi, to designing minimalist, mobile-first UIs with Tailwind and Next.js.

At the core, I enjoy solving problems, experimenting with design, and creating products that people genuinely enjoy using. Whether it’s a portfolio site, a SaaS product, or a playful landing page, my goal is always the same: keep it simple, modern, and impactful.

Tools I use daily

JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, PHP, Python, Tailwind CSS, Docker, and whatever else gets the job done.
