Adam M. - developer in Hungary
Adam M.

**Senior Full Stack Developer with 7+ years of experience** in building accessible, scalable and high-quality web applications using both modern (React, Next.JS, Tailwind) and traditional (PHP, HTML/CSS3, WordPress) technologies. I started learning web development over 9+ years ago, first through self-study and later through university courses. After **graduating as a Computer Scientist**, I have expanded my skill set to improve and stay up to date with modern web technologies. 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. During this time, I gained experience with **Agile/Scrum** methodologies, fully remote work, version control, clean code and **SEO** principles, **API integrations**, and **code refactoring**. I enjoy collaborating on larger projects and value sharing ideas and reviewing each other’s work. Later, I transitioned to international companies and joined UserWay where I worked for 2 years as a Senior Frontend Developer. In this role I deepened my expertise in **web accessibility** and worked in an English-speaking environment. Since the company merged into Level Access, I have been working as a Senior Full Stack Developer for 2+ years. As a developer, I focus on delivering clean, responsive, and fully accessible websites that balance business goals, user experience and developer maintainability. In my free time I enjoy working out, cycling, hiking, and playing board games, especially cooperative ones.
