Curriculum Vitae of Laurentiu Stan (Stan Laurentiu)

Madrid, Spain

1. Professional summary

Polymath: someone who connects technology, design, photography, strategy and AI to solve problems in ways a specialist wouldn't see. With over 10 years of experience, his value lies in arriving at unfamiliar contexts — new technology, different industry, freshly formed team — and solving the problem. He has done it in blockchain, fintech, telecommunications, retail, insurance, aviation, healthcare, public administration and banking. He's not the developer who knows the most about React. He's the one who knows what to build, why, and how to connect it to everything else. Generative AI is now his multiplier: MVP in 2 months versus an estimated 1 year, complex projects started from scratch in frameworks he had never used.

In parallel, he maintains a 13+ year career as a photographer and visual artist, with work in international museums, books, journals and collaborations with brands such as Nike SB, Moto Guzzi and Harley-Davidson. That dual perspective — technical and visual — is what allows him to think of interfaces as compositions, architectures as living systems, and problems as design opportunities. "The balance between beauty and the pragmatic."

3.1. Senior Analyst | Accenture Song

Madrid, Spain | August 2018 – Present (7+ years). Promoted to Sr Analyst in September 2021.
