Welcome
I'm Emilian Bold. Welcome! Bine ați venit!
I'm a software developer for hire. Check out my CV.
My customers asked me to do Java for clients and servers, iOS apps in Objective-C or Swift and Python models.
My public work has revolved around NetBeans: I report bugs and submit patches. I received commit rights to the NetBeans repository back when Oracle owned it and continued being a committer under Apache Software Foundation.
