About

Hi, I'm Catalin.
I make things move.

I am one of the first React Native adopters, more than eleven years ago, and one of the lucky few who had access to the private React Native repository. I built the very first complete application in React Native, the one that showed what the framework could do.

I like to give life to interfaces through animation, and I have been doing it for more than a decade: hundreds of animations, from small touches to complex interactive ones. These days I also build my own apps for iPhone and Mac.

Work

A developer for two decades: ElevenLabs, Microsoft, Skype, Hootsuite, uberVU, and many startups as a contractor. A few of them:

Workshops

Every year since 2023 I teach The Reanimated Workshop at App.js Conf: a full day of exercises, from a first shared value to gestures and layout animations. The material from each year stays public.
