About Me
Zsolt Tasnadi
Software Architect • DevOps Expert • Programmer
Hi! I'm Tasi, a 39-year-old IT expert who fell in love with programming and IT system architectures. I was 11 (in 1999) when I learned HTML and the basics of the web, so I grew up with the Hungarian web culture. In the last 20 years, I have worked with a lot of technologies through many trends and eras of IT, from table-based static websites to the VueJS-based dynamic SPA-s, or from Drupal-powered sites to ESP32 microcontroller programming. I'm competent in more than 10 programming languages and countless frameworks.
