About

I’m Sergiu-Cristian Carafa Junior, a self-taught software engineer focused on AI and backend development, with hands-on experience building an AI-powered parking monitoring platform. I’ve worked across Python-based desktop/backend components, REST API integrations, computer vision (YOLO) and OCR-related license plate recognition concepts, and I also developed an Android app using Kotlin to connect with backend services.

I enjoy taking ownership of technical problems end-to-end—breaking them into smaller tasks, testing solutions, and validating changes through iterative debugging. I’m comfortable using generative AI tools to speed up investigation and implementation, and I’m actively motivated to grow further in backend and AI engineering roles, preferably in remote opportunities.

Parking AI – Intelligent Parking Monitoring & Enforcement System Parking AI is an AI-powered parking monitoring platform designed to automate parking surveillance, detect parking violations, and improve traffic and parking management for municipalities and public authorities. Project Overview I designed and developed an intelligent parking management solution that combines computer vision, object detection, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to monitor parking areas in real time. The system allows administrators to define monitored parking zones, configure maximum parking durations, identify vehicles, and automatically detect potential parking violations. Key Features AI-Powered Vehicle Detection: Uses YOLO-based computer vision to identify and track vehicles. License Plate Recognition (ANPR): Extracts vehicle registration numbers using OCR technology. Real-Time Monitoring: Processes camera feeds and monitors designated parking zones. Automated Violation Detection: Identifies vehicles exceeding configured parking time limits. Evidence Management: Stores violation history and supporting visual evidence. Administrative Dashboard: Provides a centralized interface for monitoring cameras, vehicles, events, and violations. Human Verification: Enables authorized personnel to review and confirm violations before enforcement. Technologies & Tools Python YOLO / Computer Vision OCR (Rust) Tauri JavaScript API Integration Git / GitHub My Role I was responsible for the software architecture, implementation, AI integration, backend development, computer vision workflows, and system functionality. Project Goal:Build a scalable, intelligent parking enforcement solution that reduces manual monitoring, improves operational efficiency, and helps municipalities manage public parking infrastructure.

Work experience

CEO · Shinobi Ai CorporationJan 2025 – Present · 1 yr 11 mos

I am a self-taught Software Engineer with hands-on experience in developing AI-powered applications, backend systems, automation tools, and intelligent software solutions. My technical experience includes Python, JavaScript, Kotlin, Java, MQL5, computer vision, AI integration, API development, and software architecture. One of my main projects is Parking AI, an intelligent parking monitoring and enforcement platform that I designed and developed independently. The project combines YOLO-based object detection, OCR, real-time camera processing, backend services, and desktop application technologies. I have experience working with AI-assisted development tools, debugging complex issues, integrating different technologies, and transforming ideas into functional software products. I am particularly strong at problem-solving, independent learning, technical research, and adapting quickly to new technologies. I use AI tools as productivity multipliers while maintaining control over architecture, implementation, testing, and troubleshooting. I am looking for opportunities where I can contribute to real-world software projects, continue developing my engineering skills, and deliver practical technical solutions.
