About Me

Hey there, it's Zsolt! I'm a frontend developer from Debrecen/Hungary. My life revolves around programming and solving problems. Over the years, it has turned into one of my favorite hobbies and 9-to-5 job. I'd say I have the best of both worlds.

During my years at the university, I gained tremendous experience (in React in particular) by doing freelance work at C-Hive. At C-Hive, I learned a ton from Csaba Apagyi - ranging from CI/CD through maintaining larger codebases to unit-testing. This one-and-a-half-year has definitely contributed to where I'm now.

Currently I'm a frontend developer at Reppublika working in a diverse environment with folks from other parts of the world. Our products are built on top of Vue and thus I've had to make a switch from React - making the switch was challenging and engaging at the same time. Besides Vue, I also get to gain real-world experience in AWS.

I'm dedicated to learning, honing my skills constantly and keeping myself up to date with the latest technologies. Because of me being fond of learn by teaching, I'm in the process of catching up with writing articles about web development and my learnings in general.

Passions beyond web development

Health

Even though my passion for programming is endless, it's cruical not to neglect my mind and body. After all, it's a mentally tiring profession and can take its toll on our life. When it comes to sports activities, I'm unfortunately limited due to having lower-back pain. Therefore, I tend to engage in physical activities that do not put much stress on my back, such as callisthenics, swimming and cycling.

In addition to being physically active, I also pay close attention to my diet. I cook for myself, count macros and seek recipes to grow my warehouse.

Basketball

I'm a huge fan of playing and watching basketball - even though these days I'm rather watching it. My passion for it comes from my youth - I'd been playing basketball for more than twelve wonderful years in Jaszbereny. Despite the fact I'm no longer playing it, I'm an active follower of the Hungarian Championship and NBA as well as a certified Table Official.
