Predator is a project engineered by me and later on in team in Softwise Development company to be a interface between Yahoo Groups site and the home user, giving to every one of these groups the ability to do almost anything that they can do directly at Yahoo. And this by using the Windows capabilities (multi select, multithreading download etc). You’ll be able to download any file format (images, movies, archives, documents).
It allows to user to download files from the photo area, file area and the message area all in one click! View these photo’s with own slide show system and you will also have the opportunity to just pick the ones that you want and throw out the rest!
Another feature is that you can change account information, the ability to leave a group or groups, start a new group, edit your user, profile, change your email settings, read and reply to posted messages, chat, add to or view bookmarks.

Uses: Borland Delphi 7 VCL, Microsoft Access Database, User Accessibility
This application was developed by me for Softwise Development to accomplish the needs of a client in administering its furniture chain of shops.
So, as Project manager, I have designed a solution, keeping in mind the possible evolution of this enterprise. I was using a system of managing clients and suppliers, the available furniture, the accounting in/out documents. This application was designed to be simple, to be used efficiently, fast and reliable by people who didn’t had any programmatically skills, in a fast and reliable application.
Forestry

Uses: Borland Delphi 7 VCL, Microsoft Access Database, User Accessibility
Very technical project, using numerous tables from a database to estimate the average growth of a number of forests. I had developed it in Softwise Development company, having given by the client the tree characteristics (maximum age, average growth per year, indexes of growth etc) and the activities that must be done periodically to ensure the best efficiency. The user of this kind of application will have a general idea of what is to do in the next period of time to the forests that he administers.
Using defined site (forest), created from different species of trees, and estimating their growth, a modern manager can exploit his resources better, but not loose from mind the ecological part of this enterprise.Based on scientific calculations, the bases of a rationality and profitability of owning forest and administering them are now available to the science and business people.
DocVault
Jan 12th
Uses: Borland Delphi 7 VCL, Windows API
Data security is the priority of this program, mainly used for sending important data trough unsecured mediums – like internet or e-mail. The program uses state of the art algorithms in encrypting area (MD5, RSA algorithms with encrypting on different key sizes) and was developed while working in Softwise Development.
The program is creating a file, the result of encrypting algorithms applied to all files or directories with files selected by user, result which is a self-extracting program, using no dll’s additionally, also increasing this way the security. A compression algorithm built-in program allows you to easily decrease the resulted .exe size to smallest possible.
The program is composed from two parts:
- Master – the program itself
- Client – the generated program containing the selected files
CursValutar
Jan 7th
Uses: Borland Delphi 7 VCL, HTTP, HTML Parsing, JavaScript, PHP server side script
The program parses web pages from Romanian National Bank site (www.bnr.ro), offering the latest currency ratings, among with a currency calculator, a very useful converter. The program was designed by me in Softwise Development company as a low resource program, hidden in the tray bar of Windows, while periodically checking BNR site and warning the refreshing of the currencies rate. Another feature is that it shows the trend of the user selected currency over the time, allowing you know how it fluctuates – improving the user decision.
The application is designed to be used as a simple, easy to use tool, providing without any previously knowledge of software usage the full functionality and power to the end user.It also has enough options to allow user to customize the time of refreshing data from the BNR site, the visible currencies (although all are refreshed, user may want to see just a number of them), the program start), and the calculator part – a tool visible in the main window of program (in right-bottom corner), but also in a separate window, which can be set to become visible as user clicks on the tray icon.
