Full-Stack Product Developer · STEAM Trainer
I build platforms that simplify work. And teach the technology that makes them run.
I’m Andrei Calapod: full-stack developer, UX/UI designer and STEAM trainer. I design custom web applications, management platforms and human-supervised AI workflows — and bring robotics, coding and artificial intelligence to classrooms, schools and universities.

two worlds, one method
I build digital products. And teach how to build them.
They only look like two different jobs. When I develop, I design software that guides its users: explicit states, built-in guides, visible flows. When I teach, I have students and teachers build real technology. The method is the same: making complex things simple.
STEAM Education
- Teacher training and university modules
- Educational robotics and coding
- Artificial intelligence in education
- 3D modelling and printing, AR/VR
- Learning-pathway and workshop design
selected work
Three platforms, three processes put back in order
Not demos: production systems, used every day. For each one I explain the problem, the decisions and how it actually works.
management platform
Coordinating hundreds of internships without losing the thread
- Problem
- Hundreds of internships, dozens of partner schools and three roles to coordinate with generic tools.
- Solution
- A platform with explicit states, a territorial map, cohort calendars and automatic checks on critical issues.
- PHP
- MySQL
- JavaScript
- Interactive cartography (ISTAT / Natural Earth data)
human-supervised ai
An AI helpdesk that only answers when it can prove it
- Problem
- The same questions every day, answers buried in long regulations — and generic AI cannot be trusted with enrolment, exams and deadlines.
- Solution
- An assistant that cites only official documents, verifies numbers, goes through human approval and suspends answers when a document changes.
- Python · FastAPI
- Retrieval over official documents (RAG)
- Source and number verification pipeline
- Document re-check scheduler
operations + ai ecosystem
From a message on site to a published post
- Problem
- Requests born on construction sites among photos, voice notes and chats — and lost; online communication stealing time from production.
- Solution
- An ecosystem that turns field messages into tickets and tasks, manages quotations and documents, and publishes to six channels from one editorial flow with supervised AI.
- Python (API) · JavaScript
- Telegram integration (bot)
- Voice transcription and AI for multi-channel content
- Document signing with personal links

how I work
A clear path, from idea to production
Every project follows the same thread. No phase gets skipped: what I design, I build; what I build, I maintain.
- Analysis
I learn the real process, not the one on paper.
- UX/UI
Architecture, flows and interfaces before code.
- Development
Full-stack, with data, roles and permissions done right.
- AI
Only where it helps, always with human oversight.
- Testing
With the people who will actually use the system.
- Deployment
Servers, backups, DNS: I take care of it.
- Maintenance
Release day is a beginning, not an end.
steam & education
Technology is learned by building
Since 2018 I have designed and led STEAM programmes for schools, teachers and universities: educational robotics, coding, 3D printing, AR/VR and artificial intelligence in the classroom. With active methodologies and one simple principle: you learn by making — and by understanding what you make.
Polly the Robotic Bee
A narrative educational-robotics pathway for young children: missions, maps and first algorithms guiding small robot bees.
The Wild Robot
From the novel to robotics: nature, emotions and machines that learn — through reading, building and programming.
AR/VR Historical Detectives
Historical investigations with augmented and virtual reality: students reconstruct places and events, then tell their story.
Tell me about your project. Or your classroom.
Whether you have a process to digitise, a product idea or a training programme to build, we start with a concrete, no-strings conversation.
