I am a software developer and product manager from Hungary. Currently, I work as a co-founder at dyrector.io. As a co-founder, my daily tasks fall somewhere on the scale between an engineering manager and a product manager. Based on my previous experiences, I have a more backend-oriented development background. I have worked on large enterprise systems where we used Java and the Spring Boot framework. After that, I started working more on the product side, managing multiple projects as a product manager who tries to bring the whole project together, working closely with developers and designers.

Due to my experiences, I have been able to contribute to both sides with actual work when needed. I have generally worked in smaller companies, so the roles were often blurred, and as a proactive person, I always approached tasks with the goal of solving them as quickly and as qualitatively as possible. Therefore, I have experience in many aspects and have seen a lot.

In recent years, I have also been close to cloud technologies, mainly handling cloud tasks in Azure for large English clients, but I am also familiar with AWS and GCP. I enjoy creating new things, solving problems, and working with people. This led me to identify myself more as an Engineering Manager today beside that I'm still love coding.

Regrettably, one aspect of my extensive experience throughout my career is that I consistently transitioned between various technology stacks. I worked for companies where deep knowledge wasn't crucial, but problem-solving ability was. This prevented me from gaining deep expertise. I consider myself a generalist, someone who has seen a lot, capable of examining and solving problems from multiple perspectives, even with the involvement of external help. I'm not afraid of new things; I love all aspects of IT, whether it's maintaining client relationships, solving people's problems, discussing and solving programming or infrastructure issues.
