Meet the team behind findmeds.uk.
We met over 16 years ago and have been friends ever since. What started as shared conversations became a shared vision: making healthcare information truly accessible to everyone.
Building systems that make complexity feel simple
For findmeds.uk™
Technical lead
Full-time role
Academic researcher
Dr Andrei Hodorog holds a PhD in Engineering and works as a Lecturer in Digital Engineering. His research spans semantic web technologies, user experience design, and machine learning — work that directly informs how findmeds.uk™ organises and presents complex medicine data.
As someone who is autistic and has ADHD, Andrei experienced first-hand how fragmented and inaccessible medicine information can be. This personal frustration became the starting point for findmeds.uk™.

Educator, trainer & IQA
Vlad Muntianu brings over a decade of expertise in work-based learning and quality assurance. As a certified assessor and Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) specialist, he has spent his career ensuring that complex information reaches learners in ways they can actually use.
His experience building training platforms and educational programmes brings a crucial perspective: information only matters if people can understand and act on it.

These shared values brought us together and guide everything we build.
Complex information should never be a barrier. We design for real people with diverse needs.
Every piece of information has a source. We show where data comes from so you can verify it.
We build for the person searching at 2am, worried about a prescription. Their needs come first.
Healthcare information demands rigour. We apply research standards to everything we publish.
Medicine evolves constantly. So do we — updating data, improving features, listening to feedback.
Healthcare information shouldn't be locked behind paywalls. findmeds.uk™ is and will remain free.
How a long friendship became a shared purpose
We first met in 2010 as young Romanians with ambitions that stretched beyond borders. Andrei was immersed in computer science, competing in international networking challenges. Vlad was already shaping his path in education.
Despite our different directions — one heading towards academic research, the other towards vocational training — we recognised something in each other: a genuine belief that knowledge should empower people, not exclude them.
Our careers took us across Europe, but we stayed connected. Andrei pursued his PhD, researching how semantic technologies can improve user experience. Vlad built training platforms in London, pioneering new approaches to vocational education.
Through countless conversations over the years, a recurring theme emerged: too often, vital information is locked away — buried in jargon, scattered across sources, or designed for experts rather than the people who need it most.
The idea for findmeds.uk™ grew from Andrei's personal experience navigating medicine information as someone with ADHD and autism. Fragmented data, contradictory sources, and inaccessible language felt like barriers designed to keep patients in the dark.
When Andrei shared this frustration with Vlad, the response was immediate recognition. Years of making complex training accessible had taught Vlad the same truth: information only has value when people can actually use it.
findmeds.uk™ brings together our complementary strengths. Andrei's technical expertise ensures every piece of information is properly sourced and interconnected. Vlad's experience in learner-centred design ensures the platform serves the people it's built for.
Neither of us could have built this alone. A technically perfect database means nothing if users can't navigate it. A beautiful interface means nothing if the underlying data isn't trustworthy. We need both — and we bring both.
We believe everyone deserves clear, honest information about their medicines — without needing a medical degree to understand it.
findmeds.uk™ is for patients understanding new prescriptions, carers supporting loved ones, and anyone who believes in making informed healthcare decisions.
"Sixteen years of friendship taught us that meaningful work happens when people with different skills share the same values."
