Who we are
We like to think about ourselves as the modern day explorers. If five hundred years ago you needed a crew, a ship and a map to the Americas to find a better future, nowadays you need an idea and a website. The web truly is today’s “El Dorado”, and we are determined to make the most of it. The only difference is that instead of searching for new islands and continents we are creating them ourselves.
As with every journey you need a good crew and ours is as good as they come. We boldly sail from website to website giving our best on each and every one so that many more can sail after us and enjoy our work.
Nothing gives us more satisfaction than turning ideas into reality, even our own. That is why from time to time we each come up with an idea that we think could make the web better, we vote the best one and we spend a day every two weeks trying to make it virtual reality.
MBE is a team of web developers located in Romania. Our primary objective is to make the web a better place and we do that by embracing SEO, usability testing and faster, better server code. We are always open to new ideas concerning SEO and usability and we always like our websites to be critiqued as mean as possible (that’s the only way to make websites properly).
We like to think that we make website that “just work” (to quote Apple‘s motto). We listen to what the client wants and what the user needs!
Meet The Team
Andrei Pirjoleanu
The cat that outsmarted Garfield
The HTML diplomat, he speaks the fine language of HTML with all of it’s many dialects: Firefoxian, Chromian, Safarian and even the long lost dead and incomprehensible Explorian. He can negociate peace between the most extremist browsers and make them all see his great vision of an united web in which all websites are treated the same regardless of operating system or browser.
He has downloaded the three commandments:
- Thou shalt not use Internet Explorer
- Honor thy browser (except Internet Explorer)
- Thou shalt update his browser (except Internet Explorer which cannot be updated)
Ciprian Mocanu
The duck behind the operation
The zend master himself . He can make a web page load faster that a speeding bullet and has x-ray vision, glancing at the monitor and asking "why is that pixel whiter than the others". He can do five thousand lines of code standing on his head while calculating pi with 20 decimals and break ten websites at once using just his fingertips.
If you think you’ve done your best work on a website, he will totally agree and then give you at least twenty ways to make it better.
He eats CakePHP for dinner and plays Simfony after, he is Ciprian "the duck behind the operation" Mocanu.
Andrei Olteanu
The panda that sneezed
Legends foretold of a man that would make other programmers obsolete. They say he appears when you open Windows 7 and he dissapears when you shut it down. He knows all the moves of all the browsers, all the moves of php and ruby. He can explode all variables (sometimes even constants - but that's another legend). People believe that there is a tribe somewhere in South Africa that worships him.
Some say that he helped develop IE6 and that he has come back from the future to destroy it. All we know is he's called Andrei!
Vasile Gheorghe
The only dog that chases cats for fun
He is the error bloodhound, hates all bugs living and virtual and would rather crash his own website than let you find anything wrong with it. He grew up in the hood where he learned the roughest way of coding.
He escaped from coding prison when he was five by hacking two websites with a keyboard made from soap. Since then he's been training with Cake Norris and if you make him mad he is going to array_pop a cap in your arse.
