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

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.

Positions: Junior to Senior Developer, Project Manager

Softwise Development is the company that shaped me as developer. I worked there for 2 years, between January 2002 and January 2004. I enjoyed there not only a good atmosphere, but also discovered a friend in the person of Mr. Dan Trutia, CEO of the company. I was his first employee and I believe that we created a good team. Together we raised the company to a 10 people business, having international contractors while working in software outsourcing industry.

There I had quite a few projects, challenge being the word of the day. I learn a lot about developing Object Oriented applications in Delphi 5 and 6, Access databases, PHP and MySQL, Windows API programming and not to mention user accessibility techniques, helping users with eye problems.

In the last six months of his employment, I was trusted with the responsibility to manage several projects to completion in budget and timely manner, being advanced to project manager. I enjoyed this opportunity and tried my best to prove my professional potential and leadership ability. Being a manager on several projects, I was responsible for conducting many meetings with the customers, conducting requirement analysis and requirements engineering that lead to successful projects.
