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.

My orientation is basically technical, I have loved the electronic world since my childhood, but besides that, I love to work with people, especially with children. I have a strong sense of how to teach and present any topic. I'm happy when I get the chance to manage and organize people at work (or even my family and friends), so for that reason my studies have not only been technology-related. I'm a system administrator and a Waldorf teacher as well.

Over the last 20 years, I have worked with many technologies. Whenever I have an idea or a new job, I always concentrate on finding solutions, not on the technology stack which provides them. I have the courage and curiosity to learn new languages and frameworks, so it's difficult to write an exhaustive and up-to-date list of my knowledge.
