cups

I organized 15 "Amphitheatre Cup" maths competitions, with 500+ participants per year.

+ mentees

I have mentored more than 10 people in learning programming, and developing new skills in their lives and for the team.

Skills

  • Achiver: For me, every day is a good opportunity to improve and accomplish goals.
  • Relator: I like to connect with people, listen to them and understand their feelings. Also support them as I can.
  • Strategic: With a distinct way of thinking it is allows me to see patterns where others simply see complexity. With this I can discard with ease the paths that lead nowhere.
  • Analytical: I love data, and search for simplicity and logic in everything.
  • Responsibility: I take psychological responsibility for everything I commit myself to. If something doesn't work, I will keep looking for a solution until it does.

Plans

  • further develop my team leadership skills, and I aim to be a good example for my colleagues
  • accomplish my role objectives whilst remaining humble and also pass on to my colleagues the knowledge that I have already learned
  • improve my soft skills

Resume

JFM

Nov 2022 - Present

PHP backend developer

  • This Danish media company has launched a new Hungarian development team to build new products for their B2B platform. Unfortunately the company’s board members were unable to prioritize the upcoming projects, and until then we were working on the company’s internal tools such as de-indexing published pages, and a monitoring software for all sites. To date, the decision of the board of directors has not been received, so with the approval of the IT director, we are looking for new jobs to be productive and not to burn out.

Hobby projects

  • Since 2017, I have been using PHP and the Laravel framework to implement my ideas. I created a presentation app to present songs, verses and news on any display size with automatic text scaling. The site is used by several churches on a weekly basis.
  • In 2019, a friend of mine approached me to create a new version of their CMS system for their family business because their old system was outdated and they wanted to add new features as well. It didn't make sense to implement them in the old codebase, so I redesigned the system for them from the scratch and then upgraded it to meet their needs. The company provides trainings on finance and accounting topics, and thousands of users have been able to sign up through the new website since December 2021. I also integrated email broadcasting into the system, which is used to send out tens of thousands of emails per week.
