After over a decade spent in academia, directly observing and analysing social phenomena in the field of human rights and humanitarian law, with a strong focus on challenged communities, Bogdan co-founded Code for Romania in early 2016. The aim was to put technology at work for social change in Romania. Code for Romania rapidly grew from an idea into a movement. It is now one of the largest and most influential civic tech organisations in the world with almost 600 volunteers of various specialisations spread over 11 time zones and projects and methodologies with impact way further than Romania’s borders. In 2017, Bogdan took the first staff position within Code for All, leading the effort to ensure that the network is fulfilling its potential by ensuring a ripple effect of its members’ knowledge and products.
