About me

Gabriel Moraru

My main strengths

  • Master of the Delphi language
  • Delphi zealot – Strongly motivated to work with Delphi.
  • Focus on code quality.
  • Self-thought, multi-disciplined. Can learn new skills as necessary.
  • Highly independent – Can take own decisions, big or small.
  • Very good communicator.
  • Total geek: always curious, always eager to discover something new.

Hands-on skills

Electronics

  • Analog and digital electronics, Arduino, 8-bit assembly language for Z80, 8051 & other micro-controllers
  • Excellent understanding of computer inner working (at hardware level: BIOS, bus signals, CPU architecture, I/O controllers, etc)
  • Drivers for advanced robotics systems.

Medical

  • Advanced bioinformatics knowledge, medical audiology, and audio perceptions algorithms

My Delphi skills

I worked with many programming languages, but Delphi is “home” for me. I started in 1995 with Pascal and kept using Delphi until today (Delphi 11). I know the language inside-out and I always do my best to stay on top of the language.

I wrote over 90 visual components (VCL) and quite a bunch of libraries – some of them distributed with Delphi (GetIt). My personal general-purpose library consists in about 400 files. I am very good with low level code, binary files, speed optimizations.

 

Always focused on quality

Because I know that every bug released to the customer not only that costs resources, but it also hurts company’s reputation, I religiously follow the “good” programming guidelines (try/finally, code modularization, don’t swallow exceptions, CI/CD, etc) and I tolerate no compiler warnings, no memory leaks.

I take pride in the work I do, therefore I do it properly.

 

My company

In 2008 I co-founded a bioinformatics-oriented company, specialized in the development of software solutions for the molecular biology field. The company offers over 20 bioinformatics products. The flagship product, DNA Baser Sequence Assembler is cited in thousands of scientific articles and over 200 books/patents.

The software was sold all over the world and it is used by renowned universities, research institutes, hospitals or government bodies such as FDA (USA Food and Drug Administration) USA Army, Applied Biosystems Corp, Harvard University, etc.
