Looking at AI beyond the next quarter – Paul Cirstean
It is easy to get excited about the AI tool of the week: new demos, new models, new promises. But the companies that will win with AI are building long-term capability.
This session explores where AI is creating real value for software companies, with examples of how organizations are embedding AI into their products and operations. We’ll also discuss token economics, AI-DLC, and how AI is changing the way software is built and operated.
Introducing the AI Modernization Framework (YMF) – Remus Pereni
AI Rewrites Look Easy. Trusting Them Isn’t.
How much would it cost to rewrite the oldest platform in your portfolio? Nobody knows. The code has outlived its authors. Everyone is throwing AI at the problem, so we measured what those AI analyses are worth: they look convincing, they disagree with each other, and they mix guesses in with the facts. The real question is not whether AI can rewrite a legacy system. It is whether you can trust what it does and how it does it. YMF, Yonder’s modernization framework, is built to earn that trust: every claim checkable against the source, including the case against rewriting at all. In this session, we open a real legacy system and show what changes about the decision to rewrite when the AI analysis rests on evidence.
Introducing the AI Security Framework (YSF) – Alex Coman
A more detailed description will follow soon. Companies are really worried about security now that AI develops many of the software features. And rightfully so; there are always shady actors wanting to abuse any vulnerabilities to their advantage. The Yonder Security Framework has hunters to identify vulnerabilities and sweepers to remediate them.
Discussion forum

Paul Cîrstean, Head of Innovation
Paul joined Yonder’s first innovation internship in 2013, where he discovered his affinity for intelligent systems and innovation. He graduated from Babes-Bolyai University with a degree in computer science. Before starting his career at Yonder, Paul co-founded two tech startups, where he discovered that understanding customer needs and selling a product effectively are just as important as knowing how to program software. He continues to expand his experience in technology, entrepreneurship, and customer-focused innovation as Yonder’s Head of Innovation.
In his current role, Paul investigates new technologies and explores how these emerging trends can be leveraged in a business context. By combining his technology and business expertise, he can advise colleagues and clients on the best approach in each situation, which he has aptly named pragmatic innovation. Paul has become a frequent speaker on innovation, AI, and emerging technologies at many (international) events. He inspires others to build successful careers within Yonder through his knowledge and passion for sharing insights.
Remus Pereni, CTO
Remus is a testament to what passionate individuals can accomplish in both their professional and personal lives. His extensive expertise comes from a formal background, including a bachelor’s degree in Automation from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and a certification in leading software teams. As a student, he joined Yonder and quickly became a project leader. He later focused on technical matters such as software architecture and is now our Chief Technology Officer.
Remus eats, sleeps, and breathes technology, from architecture to modernizations to new technologies. He helps prospects and customers gain clarity on the technical aspects of their products. He is the epitome of a lifelong learner, continually seeking new insights. He also knows how to combine business needs with the technological aspects of solutions. Remus inspires and trains the young technical leaders within Yonder, and he doesn’t stop there. He is often invited to share his knowledge of R&D matters with our clients within TSS and CSI.
Alex Coman, Software Architect
Alexandru joined Yonder almost a decade ago and has grown into the role of Software Architect, where he focuses on building secure, scalable systems designed to stand the test of time. He enjoys tackling complex problems and finding practical solutions that balance technical rigor with real-world constraints.
Driven by a long-standing interest in cybersecurity, Alexandru started Yonder’s Cyber Security initiative six years ago, helping establish both offensive and defensive teams within the company. More recently, he has been exploring the intersection of Security and AI, a topic he is eager to share with colleagues and clients as the landscape continues to evolve.
