  Basics
    Greetings, virtual traveler. I'm Bogdan Dumitru, your host while you're here.
    To start with the basics: I was born in Romania, a bit too long ago, in August 1980.
    I came to the United States twenty-one years later, in September 2001.
    If you want to know me a bit better, read the text and click on the links below.
    For best viewing, you should have a resolution of 1280 x 1024 or better.

  Education
    I graduated from the California Institute of Technology in June 2004.
    My classwork and research were focused on computer science.
    Here, you can see me at the Commencement!

  Career
    In November 2004, I joined Cadence Design Systems as a Software Engineer.
    My group is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So yes, I'm on the East Coast now.
    Speaking of education and career, here's my (updated!) resume. (pdf format)

  Personal
    I married Daniela on July 1st, 2007. Sorry girls, I'm out of the market.
    A few portraits of her are also featured in this sample of the artsy side of me.
    While you're at it, feel free to check out my recent travel photos.
    To wrap up this section, I should probably disclose my main hobby.
    It may sound mundane, but I've been crazy about cars ever since I can remember.
    Go ahead and peruse a gallery of my precious Subaru Impreza WRX.
    For the curious, here are its specs and here's some performance data.
