Your independent developer and QA professional

About Made by Kreativ

Independent digital products, software development and quality engineering by Andrei Olaru.

Direct collaboration

Built by Andrei Olaru

Made by Kreativ is Andrei Olaru's independent studio, combining practical digital products, software development and professional software quality engineering.

I work directly with small teams on clearly scoped development and QA projects. My independently published software provides practical examples of the work, alongside around 15 years of professional software QA experience.

Based in Bucharest, Romania (Europe/Bucharest). You work directly with me, from the first technical discussion through handover.

Public GitHub profile and source code · Published work and testing evidence

Made by KREATIV remains active, and I maintain Kreativ Tools again. Findsera and News Ledger remain open to contributors because I no longer maintain those projects. Kreativ Auto is currently paused.

What happens next

A clear decision before work begins

  1. Fit and questions

    I review the problem and ask for the missing technical context. An inquiry is not a commitment to start.

  2. Scope and schedule

    We agree deliverables, acceptance checks, communication, a proposed schedule and the quotation before implementation.

  3. Changes and handover

    Scope changes are discussed before extra work. Included retests, source delivery and any future support are explicit in the proposal.

Availability, milestones and communication are confirmed for each project in the proposal.

Portfolio approach

How the work is managed

01

Development and QA

Client engagements start with a defined scope. Independently published plugins, apps and resources remain separate from commissioned work.

02

Community handoff

Findsera and News Ledger are no longer maintained by Andrei. Their source remains public for contributors to inspect, fork, and improve.

03

Clear project status

Active work and contributor projects are presented separately, so ownership and maintenance expectations stay clear.

Open-source handoff

Projects open to contributors

Open Source

Findsera

An archived Astro catalogue and editorial site, published as a reusable open-source starter.

News Ledger

Selected milestones

How the project family evolved

  1. The project family was organized

    Independent tools, creative resources, and guides gained a shared Made by Kreativ home.

  2. The wider archive took shape

    Project profiles and release notes made the body of work easier to understand and preserve.

  3. Three projects opened to contributors

    Kreativ Tools, Findsera, and News Ledger were opened to contributors while Made by KREATIV continued its active product work.

  4. Kreativ Tools returns to active work

    Andrei resumes maintaining Kreativ Tools. Kreativ Auto is paused; Findsera and News Ledger remain contributor handoffs.
