About me

I have a PhD degree in Cognitive Psychology and I was enthusiastic to do basic research, but time passed by and I felt the need to create something tangible.

Programming has always been close to me as I tried to build small games even during my BA studies. Later on, I used programming to construct experiments and analyze data.

Then I found web development, a field that is related to many of my interests: problem solving, visual art and human behavior.

In the last five years (2021-2026) I worked in fantastic teams (Warner Brothers, Warner Brothers and Discovery, Mindtechapps inner teams, IESF, Mazed, Spotify). I will always be grateful to the leaders I learned a lot from (without claim to completeness): Lei, Mikael Ek, Légár Eszter, Márton Volosin, Dávid Tóth and Milán Néninger.

Choice of weapon: Typescript, React (Library), Nestjs (Backend), Figma (Prototyping), SPSS/Matlab (data analysis), Anaconda-Spyder (ML)

Hobbies: gardening, playing with my dogs, cooking plant based, reading

Projects

Featured project

Kasszy

A PWA for everyday household finances: transactions, shopping list and pantry in one place.

Try Kasszy(opens in a new tab)
Kasszy login screen with Face ID, Google and email sign-in options

Sign in your way

Log in with Google or with email and password. Two-factor authentication is optional, so you decide how strict it should be.

Passkeys

Face ID or fingerprint instead of a password: quicker to use and resistant to phishing.

Offline shopping list

Once the shopping list has loaded, it stays available in the shop, even without signal.

Live knowledge base badge

A badge updates in real time as soon as a new knowledge base article is published.

Recurring transactions

Set up repeating bills and subscriptions. A scheduled job sends an in-app reminder the day before they are due.

Daily backups

Data is backed up automatically every day.

Encrypted amounts

Transaction amounts are stored encrypted, so they can't be read as plain numbers in the database.

Shared pantry and shopping list

Share the pantry and the shopping list with your household, so everyone sees the same list.

Export transactions

Download your transactions and work with them anywhere else.

Alerts for important moments

You get an email when transactions are exported, two-factor authentication is turned on, or the account is deleted.

Import old transactions

Bring over your history from earlier tools, so you don't start from zero.

Statistics

Several charts and summaries show where the money goes.

I was torn about whether to show anything from my very first attempts, but I just thought it was cute that I wrote a game that taught me which types of plastic can be recycled.
