Silkdrop Webstudios is a team of young web experts who used to work as freelancers, but decided to join forces in order to tackle bigger challenges and learn from each other in the process. Meet the two founders:
Radu has been online since 1998, and has been building websites ever since. From the beginning, he was fascinated with the limitless possibilities of communication via the World Wide Web. In 1999, at age 14, Radu built a website to protest against the Romanian Telco's prohibitive Internet access costs, getting hundreds of hits per day, newspaper mentions and a TV appearance.
Since then, Radu has continued to develop websites. So far, he has worked on more than 50 projects, ranging from simple presentation websites to complex Internet applications. Radu has always worked as a freelancer, with customers from Romania, France, the United States and Canada. Though his forte has always been graphics design, he is also a competent PHP coder.
At the moment, Radu is living in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, working on our proprietary Silkdrop platform and enjoying life!
Our resident SEO expert has been in the web business for five years. He first got into IT by working as a desktop publisher for a Romanian outsourcing office. That is also where he learned to sell software online, which is what he pursued next, for about a year. Then he moved on to work as an in-house SEO consultant for ERealty Solution, an offshore American company.
Presently, Mihai runs his own company in Brasov, Romania, called Bratech Consulting, which provides SEO consultancy services. The Web 2.0 fever caught up with him as well and he was involved with a few start-ups, notably Harta Brasovului.
When he's not in front of his computer working or browsing RSS feeds, Mihai enjoys going out with his friends, reading and dreaming about making the world a better place.
