Marcell T.
.NET/ReactJS expert, Team Lead, MCP, Autodidact

I strongly believe that Code Quality Matters. I hold myself to high standards even in smaller projects, and in my spare time I keep learning about the latest technologies and architectural design patterns. My favorite topics are performance optimization and concurrency, but I am keen on and proficient in a wide variety of technologies (especially if it has something to do with C# or React which I love). Even though most of my work experience revolves around building ASP.NET Core Web APIs and React/Redux(/TypeScript) frontends, I have had projects involving Windows Forms, WPF, Xamarin Forms / Android, numerous console apps, etc. Besides learning, I also love to share my knowledge with others. My favorite part of leading the development team at my current workplace is being able to mentor junior devs who share my passion in ever improving their design, code quality and performance.
