Design system

Every value on this page is a token. If it is not listed here, the site does not use it. Approve the direction here before the rest of the site is built on top of it.

Colour

Twelve values. Black carries the page, white carries the text, gold marks what you can act on, silver is the material.

    Since February 2026 I have been writing firmware at Axon in Timișoara. Before that I did two internships at Nokia and spent seven months as a junior security researcher at Bitdefender. Since September 2026 I have been teaching Computer Architecture labs at the Politehnica University.

Controls

Three kinds of action. Gold for the one thing a screen asks you to do, a line for the rest, plain gold text for links.

Use the mouse and the Tab key. The focus ring is the same everywhere.

Components

Built from the tokens above. Each project on the site is a core on the chip, so its card carries a map of the die.

CORE 02

StrawBoss

A mobile app and a web dashboard that trace agricultural biomass from field to warehouse, bale by bale, for sustainability certification (ISCC / RED III).

Anything not yet confirmed stays visible like this, so nothing gets invented.

Motion

Short, precise, and always for a reason. Four durations for change, one rhythm for the LED and three curves cover every animation on the site.

Curves

Samples

Nothing here moves until you ask. With motion paused, every sample shows its final state.

Heading decode

From silicon to intelligence

Paragraph reveal

Text enters once, when its layer of the chip comes into view, and never again on the same visit.

Light along a trace

08

Annotation grammar

Small monospace notes, like the margins of a datasheet. They carry real data or nothing.

Rules

  • Every value is real or marked TODO.
  • Keys in grey, values in silver, at most one value in gold.
  • Three annotation blocks per screen at most.
  • ISO dates (2026-10), en dash for ranges (2023–2024), a space before units.
  • Upper case only for identifiers: section names, REV, core numbers.

A unit test fails the build if one of them appears in any message.
