About me:
I am a product developer and growth specialist. I studied creative media, digital product design and development and social science.

I uniquely blend creative and cultural insights, technology expertise with an innate social justice approach.

I have been working with technology start-ups for more than 10 years, in high impact industries like healthcare (health-tech, healthcare IT, medical imaging data) or education (XR, VR, product development education). Currently working in the AI-driven automation and integration space.

I have a great interest in propagating horizontal organizational structures, empathetic leadership, equity and inclusion principles, all across industries and different company sizes.

I thrive working alone, but I also blend well within a small team. I prefer more agile structures, autonomy, creative freedom, creative environments, and empowering leadership.

I love to sustain and nurture meaningful connections with people I align with. I tend to be a perfectionist, I often bring innovative (and also somewhat) disruptive ideas to the table, but this will only guarantee you'll get exceptional work with me every time.

Publications
Social impact has been a topic close to heart for Andra early in her journey. Throughout her Master’s degree at the Political Science Faculty in Romania, she studied Equality Policies, diving into topics such as gender equality, feminist studies, human rights, gender mainstreaming, and social exclusion.

We often generate and evaluate product ideas based on what we know, and, in consequence, based on our biases. But every design decision we make can raise or lower barriers to participation in society.

Imagine a future where accessing, retrieving, and sharing medical images becomes seamless—regardless of geographical location or existing systems. How would this future look like?
