Goalkeeper turned developer.
I’m Radu-Stefan — online, just Radusca. 18, based in Chisinau, Moldova. I build web experiences with Next.js, React, and a strong bias for clean CSS.
For six years I played water polo at national level as a goalkeeper. When my team disbanded in 2023, the athletic discipline didn’t go anywhere — it shifted into code. Show up every day, respect the reps, hold your position under pressure.
I’m now studying full-stack development at Step IT Academy while shipping freelance projects. I’m learning cybersecurity alongside web work because a developer who understands attack surface ships safer products.
