EMI

Emi is the founder & CEO of Brainient. He runs our team in London and when he's not in the office planning the company's strategy, he's out in the city talking to clients & partners. He enjoys spending time with people, learning about their problems and solving them.
He's been an entrepreneur for as long as he can remember, and Brainient is his third company. He's 25 and apart from running Brainient, Emi has been involved in a number of UK & Romanian startups: Skimbit / Skimlinks, eOk (Romania), BrainTV (Romania), iHireyou (UK), SkinScanApp to name a few.
Emi is also a speaker and lecturer at various entrepreneurship and technology events, a Seedcamp Week '09 Winner and has been selected as one of the Top 30 Under 30 in 2011 by SquareMile Magazine.
He occasionally blogs on www.emigal.com and writes for The Daily Telegraph and TechCrunch Europe.
ANDREI

Andrei, our CTO, is responsible for growing and maintaining Brainient's research and development team, fostering excellence in both execution and innovation.
Andrei is also in charge of Brainient’s full range of technologies and products, as well as partnering with key technology providers that can bring more value to the company's customers.
Impressed? Here's more: Andrei is the proud & lucky father of a lovely baby girl called Anya. He's not Superman, he is a brainient :)
ANA

Ana is Brainient's brilliant Flash developer. She's the one responsible for every Flash based piece of technology you find in our products (BrainStudio's video editor and interactivity system for example). She loves object oriented programming and the challenges of the ever changing web environment.
When she's not coding for Brainient, she likes to travel around the world and especially enjoys visiting historical and natural monuments.
MISHA

Misha is the senior developer & web architect at Brainient, and trust our word he can handle any web server & application out there. You don't even have to tell him the server's IP, he'll manage.
He speaks Romanian with the brainients, English with our partners, reads Dostoievsky in Russian and codes directly in Assembly Language. When he takes a break from speaking all these languages, he rafts across Romanian mountains. We think it won't be long until we all see him take on Everest or K2.
CRISTINA

Cristina is in charge with the day-to-day business operations, as well as our administrative & financial stuff. She makes sure we get the most bang for the buck, whether it's investing in tech infrastructure or buying staples.
To make a long story short, she is Brainient's finance fairy.
Not only Cristina can handle all the above, she is super pretty, smart, detail-oriented and loves being busy. Sounds like WonderWoman, doesn't she?
ANDREI BLAJ

Andrei is a software engineer with experience in image processing, application development in C/C++/C#, operating system internals, communication protocols and distributed and parallel computing.
He has a strong interest in computer vision, in discovering new ways of using the hardware and software in order to make our lives easier.
Believe it or not, Andrei also loves spending time out of the office. Skiing in the winter, kitesurfing and scuba-diving in the summer, or riding a bike in the city.
SABINA
Sabina is the youngest of the brainients. As an Account & Operations Executive, her job is to make sure that our clients get all the support they need and they're always happy with Brainient's magic platform. So feel free to contact her whenever you have a question or a problem and she promises to help you with anything.
When she's not living in the Brainient inbox or organising everything around, Sabina splits her time between studying International relations, delighting in piles of Vogue magazines or dancing her heart out (ballet, salsa, jazz, street dance, you name it).
MIHAI IOVA

Mihai, aka Mateo when he wants to be cool and impress girls, is our Creative Director. And creative is definitely the word to describe him along with hard working and extremely curious when it comes to learning how to apply new technologies in his work.
He is able to take his experience in design, code, usability and translate them into a meaningful product for our clients to enjoy. And we do have happy clients.
We trust he will one day riot against the system and change the web as we know it…because he can.
KOLEA

Kolea, our other Plesco brother is 27 in body, but as he claims, he's soul is eternal. At Brainient, he develops the backend for the BrainStudio and he's 'htmlizing' everything that can be 'htmlized'. Not only he's a html5 guru, but he also loves playing the guitar and reading (just like his brother in Romanian, Russian and English).
Kolea thinks of himself as a spontaneous guy who enjoys living his life to the fullest and who's inspired by both the western and eastern culture at the same time.
Aren't we lucky to be having such cool people in our team?
ANDREI SOPOREAN

Andrei Soporean is our Flash Developer here at Brainient.
As a developer, he likes object oriented programming (and takes advantage of it every time he can). He also loves facing all the challenges imposed by applications that come across his way.
When he's not practising his techie talent, he enjoys listening to music, being around people and climbing mountains. "There's no feeling like riding your bike down the hill " he says.
