Hi, I'm a **Senior Full Stack Developer with 8+ years of experience** in building accessible, scalable and responsive web applications using both modern (React, Next.JS, Tailwind) and older technologies (PHP, HTML/CSS3, WordPress). I learnt web development 9+ years ago throught only and later on university courses. After **graduating as a Computer Scientist**, I have improved my knowledge at workspaces and while I was working on my hobby projects. I worked for 4 years as a Full Stack Developer at the startup PQRS (predecessor of Gastro Digital Kft.), where I progressed from intern to mid-level developer and gained experience in **SEO**. Later, I joined UserWay, a global company where I deepened my knowledge in **web accessibility** as a Frontend Developer for 2 years. Since the company merged into Level Access, I have been working as a Senior Full Stack Developer for 2+ years. I enjoy collaborating on larger projects, also sharing ideas and reviewing each other’s work. As a developer, I focus on delivering responsive and fully accessible websites with clean codes to balance business goals, user experience and developer maintainability. In my free time I enjoy working out, doing home DIY, hiking, and playing board games.
