A passionate software engineer with 14+ years of experience, very strong work ethic, and a “decide it, own it, get it done” attitude, eager to try and experiment with modern technologies. Enthusiastic about clean-code, having well-defined coding standards, maintaining developer-friendliness and likewise a big fan of automatism and up-to-date documentation.

Currently residing in Hungary, but I am open to relocation opportunities, with a particular interest in Canada and Japan.

Projects

Conference Schedule Report Consolidation

Dealogic | 2016 Aug - 2018 Mar

  • Project management: Led a small agile team by writing specifications (technical and functional), answering questions, consulting with business and management, calculating risks before decisions, coaching teammates, giving out and synchronizing tasks, reviewing code changes, and organizing demos to management about the progress.
  • Architecture change: Experimented with and pushed new approaches, architectures, and processes from which some later became helpful and made their way into the main team’s day-to-day work.

Achievements

  • Significant performance increase: 33 times quicker schedule generation.
  • Data issues got recognized much sooner because of automated integration tests.
  • Great praise from the client who was using the new report for the first time in their biggest conference (AIC).

Analytical Reports Consolidation

Dealogic | 2015 - 2016 Aug
The analytical reports had been used heavily with an excessive amount of data which in turn introduced performance and UX issues. My main objective was the optimization of queries and eliminating factors causing performance and data issues.

Legacy Code Reduction, Standardization

Dealogic | 2011 Sep - 2015

The reports were written in Classic ASP and were duplicated per client but predominantly the only difference was the branding. We wanted to modernize the code and drive down the size of the codebase.

  • Rewrite: Migrated the old classic ASP based reporting system to a completely new and .NET based architecture.
  • Standardizing: Participated in merging customized reports into a standard one to reduce their numbers.
  • Branding: Designed and implemented a lightweight build-time branding framework to help the team creating the standard reports but still being able to customize the design of it for the clients.

Achievements

  • Fewer reports to maintain, smaller codebase
  • Team became more responsive
  • More clear functional design, easier use of the product
