Founded in 2016 by former Politico journalists, AXIOS covers politics, business, and technology. As Frontend Team Lead for the 2017 launch, I led the implementation of the site's frontend, including its signature expandable article sections, helping bring Axios' editorial format to a fast, scalable publishing platform.

”Codrin took responsibility for a very hard piece and proved that he was able to manage all aspects of it, including talking to clients, reviewing code, managing his time and tasks, as well as those of his team.

To ensure a smooth launch, I worked directly with the Google News team to refine the integration, helping Axios content surface correctly from day one.
