Design research manager in Hungary (UTC+1)

In the late 90s, my dad bought home a 56k modem. On that day, I saw the "World Wide Web" for the first time, and I fell in love with it. Since then, I have worked in various roles, from a "Site Builder" to a UI/UX Designer. I have learned many languages, such as PHP, ActionScript, JavaScript, and, lately, Dart and Rust. I worked on projects with 1 million daily active users (Dragon Mania Legends) or ones which handled thousands of hires worldwide, daily (IBM ITP).
