Mihai Kondort
Software Developer
Summary
Software Developer with over 20 years of experience spanning the full spectrum of software development — from desktop applications and data engineering to full-stack web development and native mobile apps on both iOS and Android. Technology and programming language agnostic; I see them as tools for solving problems and delivering results.
Spent over a decade in the financial sector working in Data, ETL, and Business Intelligence at major institutions including ING, Ingenico ePayments, AIB Bank, and IBM. Most recently delivered end-to-end full-stack, desktop, and mobile work at Eightpoint — leading a development team and building an AI workflow orchestrator that partially automated an iOS-to-Android code migration. Having lived and worked in four countries — Romania, England, Ireland, and the Netherlands — I bring a natural adaptability that complements my technical breadth. Experienced in team leadership, mentoring, and delivering end-to-end across the entire product lifecycle.
