    Name: Bogdan Patraucean

    Location: Cluj-Napoca, Romania

    Occupation: Software Engineer

    Room size: 25 m² (270 ft²)

    Cost of the setup: ~$4,5K

    Social media: Instagram

    Hey, Bogdan! Tell us a bit about yourself

    I work as a software engineer for a private company in Romania. We do a lot of things, from apps for banks to factory automation, AI, etc, mainly for the German market.

    To be more precise, I’m a full-stack web developer. Full-stack means that I’m dealing with the frontend part (HTML, CSS, Javascript, Typescript, Angular, etc.) and also the backend part (.NET platform in my case). I create complex web apps that are both good-looking and processing a lot of data for specific needs.

    I enjoy my work because I’m a tech enthusiast, always willing to be up to date with the latest launches of phones, gadgets and of course, computers. Not only that I like to be up to date but I rather want to know how these things work in depth.

    From electrons to pixels, I’m trying to develop a deep understanding of how our world works, and, more specifically, how technology is built.

    The lock screen poppy wallpaper
    Bogdan made the lock screen wallpaper himself, and it’s straight out of the camera, he says. “I’m not a fan of heavy editing and image manipulation. I try to offer a real glimpse of what I see when I’m capturing that moment”

    It triggers me when things are not perfectly and symmetrically aligned, or when my software is not updated to its latest version.

    Picture me, spamming the Check for updates button in the Play Store and Windows settings several times a day. That’d be pretty accurate.

    You can say I’m crazy but besides the fact that it’s recommended to update your system (so that you are not exposed to vulnerabilities), I’m more curious about what features or design changes were packed in that update. I’m happy and elated even when the Android security patch drops. Don’t judge me! Ok?

    I also do personal projects. Right now, I’m developing a Windows desktop app with Fluent Design aesthetics. I’m planning to launch it at the end of this year. I can’t say much about it, more than that it’s called winfresh and will help a lot of users to ease and improve their Windows experience.

    To achieve the clean look of this minimalist setup, Bogdan went wireless as much as possible. He has two cable holders attached to the desk and a cable snake for the power cable and Internet cable

    This was the techy part of me, but we all need to have a balance in our lives. Not everything begins and ends with tech.

    When I really want to enjoy my day, I’m going outside with my camera to capture some minimalist, cinematic yet realistic shots.

    I’m still learning and improving and I would appreciate it if you’ll take a look at my Instagram profile. I think it’s underrated.

    Can you describe your home setup?

    Item Model
    Monitor LG 27UK850-W 27″
    Mouse Razer Pro Click
    Keyboard Razer Pro Type
    Wireless charger Google Pixel 3
    Headphones Skullcandy Crusher
    Speakers Audioengine A2+
    Card reader Kingston FCR-HS4
    Desk lamp Xiaomi Mi LED Desk Lamp 1S

    I was planning this setup for almost six years.

    I spent the first four years thinking about it when studying Computer Science. I lived on campus, so did not have space and money to create my dream setup.

    Fast-forwarding four years of study in that room. Here I am moving to a new place, at my first job as a graduated software engineer.

    Things have changed. I had more money to spend on my wishes, but space was still an issue since the room was not the only mine.
