Vladimir CiobicaSoftpedia editor profile and review archive

 

It seems a lifetime has passed since I first joined Softpedia. I still remember how little I knew about the Internet, apps, and technologies that are now such a big part of our lives.

Working here has definitely opened my mind to a lot of awesome tech-related things, and I oftentimes find myself going full-blown geek mode when it comes to various software.

More importantly, it's the place where I grew a lot as a person, both professionally and on a more personal level. I'll take this opportunity extend big "thank you" to all the people who made me feel at home working here.

Since you can't describe yourself without sharing a few things you like, here's what makes me tick: motorcycling, mountain biking, running, urban exploring, street photography, writing, gaming, anime, movies, TV shows, ramen, Post-rock, Nightcore, and Goth (joking about the last one).

What don't I like? Well, obviously, I don't like talking or writing about myself, which is exactly why this description is kind of "meh," even though I meant every word in it.
