About

Hey there! I'm Stephen Golban — a Mobile & Web Developer who transforms complex ideas into seamless digital experiences.

With 7+ years of experience, I specialize in React Native mobile apps, Next.js web applications, and TypeScript-driven solutions. Beyond UI, I build AI-powered chatbots, RAG flows, and assistants. From fintech to internal tools to geospatial apps, I deliver polished features.

I'm also a vibe-code cleaning specialist — I take messy codebases and turn them into maintainable architectures. Whether refactoring legacy systems or optimizing performance, I make code better.

Ready to build something amazing together?

iBeep - Personal Project

Current Employer

iBeep turns every license plate into a public profile — a camera-first mobile app (my master's thesis project) where you scan a car's plate and land on its public wall to leave a reaction ("beep"), comment, claim the car as your own, or browse its photo gallery. Think Snapchat-style, camera-first, for cars. Built as a deliberately scoped-down MVP on a production-grade, end-to-end TypeScript stack, launching in Chișinău.

  • Built a camera-first plate-scanning flow: capture or pick a photo, extract the plate and country with Google Gemini, then find-or-create the vehicle and open its wall
  • Designed public vehicle walls for every plate — photo gallery, reactions, and comments — claimed or not
  • Implemented a 4-tier reaction scoring system (donkey / clown / like / master, −2…+2) producing a per-vehicle verdict card and reputation
  • Added AI-moderated comments plus a standalone NSFW image-moderation service (TensorFlow.js / nsfwjs) and AI-assisted report analysis
  • Built claim & verify (lightweight claim, optional ownership verification via a registration certificate) and "garage" profiles with a Snapchat-style Beep Score
  • Architected a Turborepo + pnpm monorepo with type-safe RPC via oRPC + Zod, a Hono server, Drizzle ORM over Neon Postgres, Better Auth (email + Apple sign-in), and Cloudflare R2 storage
