About us

We are like perfectly integrated puzzle pieces. Each with its function, and when we work together, everything runs smoothly.

Two curious minds - a glitch in the system and ... that's how it all started

In 2016, two friends noticed a bug in the way companies were managing their processes: too many repetitive tasks, too little efficiency. They decided it was time for a hard refresh , so they started building software solutions that make work simpler, clearer, and, why not, a bit more fun.

The name Cicada comes from the famous cryptographic puzzle Cicada 3301- a challenge designed to bring brilliant minds together. That’s exactly what the founders set out to do. Only instead of secret codes and conspiracies, they focused on building custom software, tailored to your needs. When they came together, digital magic followed.

“We Make Work Fun Again.”

Bogdan Rus, CEO

"Technology should work for people, not the other way around. Digitalization is not just about code and processes, it's about making work more enjoyable, clearer and more efficient."

The MAN who keeps the puzzle pieces connected

Bogdan Rus isn't just the CEO of Cicada Technologies - he's the connector, the one who brings ideas, people and technology together to build something truly valuable. With a PhD in telecommunications, over 30 scientific papers and years of experience in research and software development, Bogdan understands how complexity works - and, more importantly, how to simplify it.

"Technology should work for people, not the other way around. Digitalization is not just about code and processes, it's about making work more enjoyable, clearer and more efficient."

Outside the office, Bogdan shares his passion for technology with students at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and creates opportunities for future generations through ITLAB- a project that equips schools with IT resources in areas with limited access to technology.

Whether it’s Cicada Technologies, the University, or ITLAB, one thing connects them all: the drive to bring technology closer to people and to turn ideas into custom software that streamlines work and delivers measurable impact across organizations.

None of this would be possible without the team behind it - dedicated, curious professionals, passionate about their craft and deeply involved in every detail. People who believe in collaboration, continuous learning, and the power of building something meaningful together.

At Cicada, technology is just the starting point. The real value lies in the people who bring it to life- transforming everyday business challenges into scalable, efficient, and tailor-made digital solutions.
