Open to remote full-time and contract Senior/Staff Backend and AI Engineering roles.

Experience

2024–

Technical Co-Founder

Sustainabot

We build software for green-building certifiers to make their work less frustrating.

  • Own the full engineering side: infrastructure, architecture, feature work, deployments, and production maintenance.
  • Designed a deliberately simple architecture to keep operations manageable while still letting document-processing and analysis evolve independently.
  • Built an elastic document-processing and compliance-analysis pipeline, with a focus on observability and reliability in messy real-world use cases.
2022–2024

Senior Software Engineer

Qogita

Worked on the seller side of the platform, streamlining the seller experience from catalog ingestion to offering and sales management.

  • Helped a 20–30 person engineering organization adopt safer rollouts through RFCs on progressive delivery, significantly improving release confidence.
  • Architected a new foundation for seller integrations, replacing a brittle approach with something much easier to onboard, maintain, and debug.
  • Maintained a catalog ingestion pipeline that processed millions of entries per day.
  • Helped fellow engineers through pairing, design feedback, and code reviews, which made others on the team much more confident and independent.
2020–2022

Software Engineer

Perfinal

Worked on a core banking platform for neo-banks and central banks.

  • Co-led the migration of the platform from JS to Java, and helped establish Quarkus patterns through internal sessions and reference implementations.
2019

Software Engineer

NLV8

Built backend services and APIs for blockchain-based financial applications in JS/TS.

2016–2018

Junior Software Engineer (started as Intern)

EPAM

Grew from intern to junior engineer on Hotels.com, learning backend engineering in a huge production Spring codebase.

Education

2019–2024

Computer Science, PhD

University of Debrecen

I studied the interplay between reversibility paradigms and models of computation.

Skills Highlight

Ship end-to-end

From architecture through implementation and rollout. Mostly backend, but skilled across the stack.

Communicate effectively

Making trade-offs explicit, driving alignment, and translating between product and engineering.

Persistence and messaging

SQL/Postgres, schema design, and query tuning. Messaging systems like Kafka and Redis.

AI Engineering

Ship safe AI solutions based on self-hosted and cloud models. Continuous monitoring and tuning.

Fun Stuff

Teaching

MSc-level lecturer. Courses I’ve been involved in include web technologies and software architecture.

Community

Co-organized a beginner-friendly IT meetup. Our sessions were attended by up to 100 participants.
