Hi, I’m Andrei Mocanu, a software engineer in Darmstadt, Germany. I work on data acquisition, real-time sensor interfacing, and embedded systems. I turn complex problems into robust solutions, from Python back ends to microcontroller firmware. I have built signal processing for ballistocardiography sensors, customer dashboards, and web apps with cloud back ends. I thrive in agile teams, keep learning new tools, and like taking ideas from concept to production. For my master’s project, I built an object detection and tracking system in Python on limited hardware with a PLC and an IP camera. I handled data capture, labeling, training, evaluation on new data, and deployment, using version control, tests, and clear documentation.

Work Experience

Software Engineer at MimoSense GmbH
September 30, 2025 - October 16, 2025
Architected and developed Python-based software for data acquisition, processing, and API layers, plus an intuitive client dashboard streaming real-time sensor data with self-configuration options. Co-developed embedded firmware in C/C++ for Arduino Nano and ESP32 to enable low-latency sensor interfacing. Researched and benchmarked advanced signal-processing algorithms for ballistocardiography sensors, improving vital-sign extraction such as heart-rate, respiratory-rate, and motion-detection accuracy by reducing noise. Built and deployed the company's web presence using JavaScript/Node.js, React frontend, RESTful services, and managed DNS/SSL/cloud hosting.
Computer Vision Engineer, Master’s thesis activity at Phoenix Contact
March 1, 2024 - October 16, 2025
Trained and evaluated multiple object detection models (YOLO, SSD-Mobilenet) on custom datasets to recognize plastic containers in river streams from IP camera footage. Optimized inference speed on embedded devices via quantization. Implemented real-time object tracking and counting with OpenCV, and developed a Flask web app to transmit data to a cloud platform monitored via Grafana.
Web Developer at Network Propaganda
March 1, 2023 - October 16, 2025
Developed web applications using CodeIgniter and Bootstrap; configured and maintained multiple host domains/servers; built WordPress sites and automated newsletters based on client data.
