# Nerds Computing

> Software engineering company from Romania (est. 2012) partnering with SMEs worldwide to design, build, and scale reliable platforms — from web and mobile apps to cloud infrastructure, blockchain, automation, and energy systems. Nearshore engineering with project ownership or team augmentation.

Nerds Computing is a 25+ engineer team based in Sibiu, Romania, serving clients in the US, UK, and across Europe. The company targets SMEs with technical leadership (CTOs, engineering managers, founders) and favours long-term partnerships over transactional engagements.

Beyond custom software development, Nerds operates across six specialised industry verticals:

- **Renewable Energy Management** — Inowattio (https://inowattio.com) is a Nerds Computing spin-off and proprietary EMS platform for VPP aggregation, energy communities, AI-driven forecasting, real-time dispatch, and energy market integration. ANRE-licensed aggregator (License no. 2699) and BRP in Romania with OPCOM/DAMAS connectivity. Protocols: IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, OPC UA.
- **Application Modernization** — monolith-to-microservices extraction, domain decoupling, event-driven architecture, and phased cloud-native migration without business interruption.
- **Video Platform Engineering** — OTT/streaming platforms with multi-DRM (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady), low-latency live delivery, video CMS, CDN pipelines, and admin tooling for publishers and aggregators.
- **Blockchain Integrations & DApps** — smart contracts (Solidity, Rust), staking platforms, NFT marketplaces, cross-chain bridges, and compliance-ready enterprise integrations on MultiversX and Ethereum.
- **Manufacturing Engineering Solutions** — PLC/sensor integration, MES/SCADA connectivity, production data dashboards, OEE/first-pass-yield optimisation, and quality compliance reporting for regional manufacturers.
- **Learning Management Systems** — LMS integration for structured training delivery, automated certificate generation, video classrooms, and mobile access for professional certifications.

The tech stack is polyglot: React on the frontend; Node.js, TypeScript, .NET Core/C#, and Ruby on the backend; Kafka for streaming; Terraform and Kubernetes for infrastructure. Additional specialisations include GraphQL APIs, observability (OpenTelemetry), and monolith-to-microservices extraction.

Three engagement models are offered:

- **Budget & Timeline** — fixed scope, end-to-end project ownership, ideal for well-defined requirements.
- **Time & Material** — flexible scope with scalable resources, best for MVPs and evolving roadmaps.
- **Upskilling & Augmentation** — knowledge transfer with hands-on delivery, customised bootcamps, and embedded engineers for tech transitions.

Clients span a wide range of industries:

- **Travel & Booking** — ferry booking aggregators and eTicketing platforms (Open Ferry, Direct Ferries) handling 2,500+ routes and 250+ operators worldwide.
- **Energy & Utilities** — smart solar energy management and ANRE-licensed aggregation via Inowattio (Nerds spin-off, https://inowattio.com), LPG distribution and service automation (HermannGas).
- **Entertainment & Media** — premium OTT streaming=, domain and content tooling for broadcast networks=.
- **Beauty & Health** — SaaS appointment management for dental clinics (StomaLink) and beauty salons (BeautyLink) via Reachman Advisors.
- **Manufacturing & Industrial** — cable validation systems for electrical connector manufacturers (ODU/ELVA), automated galvanization process control (Flaro/Flagav), self-service carwash IoT automation (HermannGas).
- **Blockchain & Crypto** — staking infrastructure (Carpathian Stake), cross-chain bridges and NFT marketplace aggregation on MultiversX.
- **Government & Regulatory** — equipment and personnel authorization compliance (Expert RSVTI), audiovisual regulation and case management (CNA — Consiliul National al Audiovizualului).
- **Education & Certification** — occupational health and safety training with accredited certification (ByPen), online and offline course delivery with automated certificate generation.
