  3. Senior User Experience Engineer

    Oracle Budapest, Hungary

    As part of Oracle's internal User Experience team, having experience in development and expertise in user experience, my main responsibility is to streamline the development of standards-based, accessible and performant web applications for internal use that meet the needs of our sales and marketing departments and also align with our higher level initiatives to look and function consistently with our design guidelines and principles.

  4. Senior Front-end Developer

    Oracle Budapest, Hungary

    was hired to create a consistent and easy-to-use interface for our company's internal applications. These applications are used by our sales teams. My main focus was on working with CSS and HTML to make the application look good and function well. We used a framework called Oracle JET for development. At that time, we didn't have a design system, so each tool in the application had a different design and appearance.

  5. Front-end Developer

    Index.hu Zrt. Budapest, Hungary

    Index.hu is one of the most visited news portal in Hungary which held great challenges for me. Not only we had to quickly response to daily happenings, but also had to deliver the best experience for our readers on every platform without a hiccup.

    I was collaborating with the design and development team to achieve the best experience for our interactions and chose the best solutions for the UI development.
    Due to our position on the market, I was able to experiment with new technologies such as Flexbox.

    Our team was also responsible for maintaining and developing Index.hu and several other publications belonging to the same holding company, CEMP, including Velvet, Dívány, Totalcar, Fidelio, Inforadio or Femina.

  6. Sitebuilder

    Inda-Labs Zrt. Budapest, Hungary

    My primary responsibility was to design and construct layouts for our blog engine, blog.hu. This role presented unique challenges as we strived to meet the high demands of our bloggers while operating within the limitations of our system.

    Working predominantly with HTML, CSS, and occasionally delving into JavaScript, I crafted visually engaging and user-friendly layouts that provided a seamless reading experience for our blog audience.

    In addition to my design responsibilities, I also took on the role of providing support and effective communication with our valued bloggers.

    Moreover, my involvement extended beyond blog.hu as I contributed my skills to code newsletters and assisted in the development of Inda Video and Inda Fotó.

  7. Sitebuilder

    Onyx Media Budapest, Hungary

    As a sitebuilder at Onyx Media, I played a vital role in the development of a dating site. My primary focus was on creating and maintaining the website's structure and functionality to ensure a seamless user experience.

    I was also responsible to create a competitive analysis and share them with the team so we could decide which features should be in focus.

  8. Sitebuilder

    Grapes Commincation Kft. Budapest, Hungary

    I'm really grateful for the opportunity Grapes Communications provided me as they welcomed me into the industry. It was my first job in the field, and I will forever be thankful for the chance they gave me to showcase my skills and the incredible support they offered throughout my journey.

    I served as a dedicated sitebuilder here, where I was responsible for various crucial tasks that helped shape my professional growth. As a sitebuilder, my role encompassed coding newsletters, creating small graphic elements, and, of course, building and maintaining websites for our clients.

    One of the significant challenges was supporting Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). Back in 2010, IE6 posed several difficulties due to its limited compatibility with modern web standards. Overcoming issues like border radius and box shadow for IE6 was a noteworthy challenge that taught me valuable problem-solving skills and the importance of graceful degradation.
