                I became interested in coding around 2004 as a hobby. I thoroughly enjoyed it and freelanced until 2010. During this time, I've maintained a passion for crafting accessible and user-friendly websites.

                I've spent years mastering HTML, CSS, and accessibility standards, and I focus on creating visually appealing and functional websites. Ensuring everyone can use my websites, regardless of their abilities, is very important to me. I am dedicated to continuous learning and staying current with industry trends.

                With over 12 years of experience in UX engineering, I transitioned to a UX designer role in 2022. Leveraging my extensive background in front-end development and my passion for understanding user needs, I started this new chapter in my career. I bring a unique perspective to UX, combining a deep technical knowledge of product development with the ability to turn user insights into effective design solutions.

                In 2018, I had the opportunity to join the organizing teams of two major events in the front-end development community
                - <a href="http://cssconfbp.rocks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CSSConf Budapest</a> and
                <a href="https://jsconfbp.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">JSConf Budapest</a>.
