Indie Dev & Builder
Hey,
I'm Claudiu
I build and ship apps while working a 9–5 and raising a family.
Who Am I?
Engineer by day, indie dev by night. I balance a full-time job and family while building useful apps and sharing the journey publicly on X. I believe in shipping over perfection.
Between the 9–5 and family time, I carve out hours to work on products that solve real problems. GiftEasy helps people find thoughtful gifts quickly. My Subscribe and Mood Fast are iOS apps designed to simplify subscription tracking and improve daily well-being. SubRadar is a growth tool I built to discover relevant Reddit conversations, and my Claude Telegram Bot explores what AI-powered automation can do for everyday workflows. Everything I learn and ship, I share openly on

Having a draining 9-5 job while pursuing side projects is challenging, especially with a family you don't want to neglect. I feel there aren't enough hours in the day and need more.
