About me

A bit about who I am

I'm a Senior Engineering Manager with extensive experience leading cross-functional software teams in the SaaS domain. I specialize in building scalable cloud-native systems on .NET and Azure, driving engineering excellence, and aligning technical strategy with product and business goals. With a strong background in architecture, DevOps, and modern frontend frameworks, I focus on delivering reliable, maintainable systems while fostering high-performing, autonomous teams. I actively integrate AI tooling into both my own workflow and team practices, with hands-on experience building LLM-powered product features and adopting AI-assisted development at scale.

Outside of work, I am a hands-on builder who enjoys designing and improving systems — from smart home automation and energy optimization to electronics and mechanical projects. I like understanding how things work at a fundamental level and making them more efficient and future-proof. I am also a passionate cyclist, regularly exploring long gravel routes across the Hungarian countryside. Continuous learning, technical craftsmanship, and thoughtful design shape both my professional and personal life.
