YO3DVL
Building things that talk — on the bands and on the bench.
Hi, I'm Vlad, also known on the air as YO3DVL. Software engineer, radio amateur, and builder of things that connect the digital and physical worlds.
(01) — About
I'm a software engineer from Romania who enjoys building reliable software, experimenting with hardware, and turning ideas into practical projects. Most of my work revolves around web applications, APIs, automation, and systems that connect the digital and physical worlds.
Technology has always been more than a profession — it's how I explore, learn, and create. Whether I'm developing software, designing electronics, 3D printing parts, or experimenting with radio equipment, I enjoy understanding how things work and making them work better.
Beyond software, I'm passionate about amateur radio, drones, electronics, and hands-on engineering. When I'm away from the keyboard, you'll often find me hiking mountain trails or tackling a via ferrata route. Over the years I've also enjoyed skydiving, Krav Maga, and airsoft — experiences that have taught me the value of preparation, discipline, and staying calm under pressure.
If it transmits, flies, runs code, or simply sparks my curiosity — you'll probably find it here.
