Cristian Gîrlea — Senior Platform & Backend Engineer

Featured: TideDesk Featured: PHP–Python AI Bridge

  • Building TideDesk, remote desktop software for reaching your own Windows computers, with screen sharing, input control, system audio, file transfer and chat.
  • Building PHP–Python AI Bridge and claude-sdlc-kit: practical AI integrations and reusable development workflows.
  • Working across backend services, distributed systems, cloud platforms, and developer tooling. I care about clear interfaces, useful tests, and how systems behave when something fails.

Built by me

Projects I build and maintain, from desktop software to AI integrations and developer tools.

🫖 Ada Next · Learn AI by fixing a bot

Fix the Bot is a free browser game that teaches how AI applications work by repairing Ada, the support bot of a fictional tea shop, one ticket at a time.

  • Learning tracks for children, everyday AI users and developers, covering prompts, context, retrieval, agents, testing, security and cost.
  • Checkpoint certificates, progress saved on the device, and offline play after loading.
  • No accounts, ads or tracking. The game uses prewritten content; children's answers are not sent to an AI.

🖥️ TideDesk · Your computers, within reach

Remote desktop for Windows with screen sharing, keyboard and mouse control, system audio, file transfer and chat, plus an experimental Android viewer.

Rust QUIC transport Windows and experimental Android viewer Personal-use license

  • H.264 video and Opus audio over encrypted QUIC connections, with separate streams for screen, input, and sound.
  • Windows host and viewer in one application, available through the Microsoft Store and portable releases. An experimental Android viewer is also available.
  • Free for personal, non-commercial use, with paid licensing for business use. I own the application, connection services, release delivery, website and commercial sales setup.

Website · Microsoft Store · Portable releases & Android preview

Call Python AI tasks from PHP without holding the original HTTP request open. Submit work, poll progress, receive typed results, and cancel when needed.

PHP 8.2–8.5 Python ONNX Runtime MCP tools MIT license

  • A framework-independent PHP client, a Python task service, and a FrankenPHP worker-mode example.
  • Reranking, embeddings, and redaction with optional local ONNX inference; no hosted AI account required.
  • Bounded concurrency, cancellation, crash detection, and deterministic fault tests across PHP 8.2–8.5.
  • MCP tools expose the same task protocol. Experimental prototype with in-memory jobs; not a production job queue.

Try with Docker · Integration guide

A reusable software development lifecycle for coding agents: specify, plan, implement, review, verify, ship, and learn.

Node.js Shell PowerShell MIT license

  • Reusable skills, roles, procedures, and templates, with a review or verification gate between stages.
  • A local Markdown issue tracker and runtime scripts built on the Node.js standard library.
  • Generated adapters for Claude Code and Codex from one source tree. Experimental community tooling.
