Looking for a full stack developer?

I'm HIM: Bogdan Mosteanu, full stack developer

TL;DR —  I'm Bogdan, a full stack developer with 8+ years of shipping. I architected a gaming platform that handles ~10K requests per second, built the click-to-edit engine behind an AI visual editor, and I'm rebuilding a 1998 game in Rust for fun.

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I enjoy building projects that stand out in practical and interesting ways.

In my free time, I work on personal projects. Some of my recent creations include a Procreate Thumbnail Handler for Windows, built for my girlfriend's art and now used by 160+ people, and a collection of malicious repos from fake LinkedIn job interviews, so other devs don't get caught.

Outside of coding, I spend time making electronic music and fixing devices that would otherwise go to waste. I'm passionate about the right-to-repair movement and believe in reducing waste by keeping things useful for as long as possible. It's the same reason I'm rebuilding V2000, a 1998 game that takes a lot of tinkering to run on modern PCs.

I also have ADHD, which can be both awesome and annoying. It fuels my creativity and curiosity, pushing me into some pretty cool projects. I'm deeply interested in the role science plays in improving our lives, particularly in advancing healthcare and technology. In fact, I'm always looking for collaborations on projects that focus on innovation, sustainability, or repairability.

Feel free to scroll down to see more of my work, and reach out through the contact button at the bottom. I'd love to hear what you think.

Shoutout to Cristiana for the UX review and tips!

The ultimate media tracker built for collectors. Finally, a way to track your physical manga library by volume and edition alongside your favorite shows.

OpenV2K preview image

OpenV2K

An open-source Rust reimplementation of V2000 (Frontier Developments, 1998), rebuilt by reverse engineering the original executable, its data formats and its runtime behavior.

  • Reverse Engineering: Decoded the game's undocumented archive, sprite, model and terrain formats with Ghidra, a hex editor and runtime traces.
  • Native Port: Aims to be the same game, but built on a modern foundation, ditching DirectX 5 for OpenGL.
  • Playable: The frontend, saves and the first world already work, with Windows and Linux builds on GitHub.
  • The Story: I wrote about how it started.

Malicious Repositories Collection preview image

Malicious Repositories Collection

After spotting hidden malware in a LinkedIn job assessment, I began collecting and analyzing similar scam repositories. This project sharpened my reverse engineering and infosec skills as I investigated obfuscated payloads, malicious scripts, and supply chain attacks. The goal is to educate developers and document real-world threats in a public, growing repository.

  • Spotted a scam: Caught a fake LinkedIn job test trying to run hidden code that steals data.
  • Investigated real cases: Collected and explained how these scam repos work, including tricks like eval() and malicious install scripts.
  • Made it public: Shared everything in one place so other developers can learn and avoid getting tricked.
  • Still growing: New scam repos are added as they appear — this isn't slowing down.
  • Collaborative effort: Other developers have already contributed examples and insights, all voluntarily.
