My portrait
Hey, I’m Balázs. I love building beautiful, user-experience-focused digital experiences. I’ve Co-Founded a successful Men’s Jewellery Brand called Ezzra all the whilst working on some exciting projects as a Software Engineer over at Typeform, Booking.com, PokerStars and more.

Currently building a cross-platform (iOS, Android, Web) retail investment app at OTP Bank with Flutter.

Meet my toolbox

Building a digital product is an eloquent dance between making sound, long-term engineering decisions and shipping fast, failing fast, and subsequently finding your product-market fit.

Having have fallen in love with React & TypeScript, I’ve been using them to create beautiful, performant and scalable web applications for the past 6 years.

Most recently, I’ve had the opportunity to deep-dive into building cross-platform apps with Flutter in a large-scale, enterprise project for the largest bank in Hungary.

My Career

I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented people in the industry, on some truly exciting projects.

Over at Typeform, I've been working on their brand new marketing automation tool – much like, say, Ortto or ActiveCampaign in a small, tight-knit team.

Booking.com was a completely different experience, working on a large-scale enterprise product, truly gaining understanding of the importance of engineering concepts that span beyond code quality, such as scalability, performance, accessibility, and observability.

DEPT, a global digital agency, was where I've had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, including Royal Ascot, TOTUM, SteamForged, Flowtech, and more.

That being said, if you're interested in the nitty-gritty, feel free to check out my resume or LinkedIn.
