My name is Peter, or Gabor, whichever you prefer. I am a full stack web developer, based in London. I am originally from Budapest, studied for a year in Japan, living in the UK since 2012. So far in my life, I have also been a Japanese teacher, briefly worked as a self employed daytrader, did my fair share of hospitality, and a lot of bar mangement. As you can see, I enjoy learning new things.
Actively programming pretty much full time since early 2020, I am currently looking for my first tech position as a web developer. My current stack is mainly JavaScript based, I am also spending a plenty of time with TypeScript recently. I am familiar with frontend frameworks - React and Vue, HTML and CSS, styling with Sass. I build RESTful and GraphQLAPIs, relational and non-relational databases. I enjoy figuring out best practices, designing architecture, reusable code. As an ex-daytrader, I find flashing red test cases turning green extremely rewarding. I am cofident using Git for version control, currently integrating Docker and CI/CD to my everyday workflow,
I am focusing on my skills as an overall engineer at the moment, learning about Data Structures, Algorithms and Object Oriented Design Patterns. I am currently learning Java , to take my OOP skills to the next level. I am also pretty confident with Python, I could pick it up relatively quickly if needed.
In my free time, I like learning new things like tech or languages (my Chinese needs work), working on side projects. I love spending time with my lovely wife, I enjoy an occasional video game, or being outside chasing wildlife. I would love to get back into martial arts (wing-chun for me), once I have a more regular schedule.
Although I don`t have aspirations in bartending or hospitality anymore, I do maintain a professional curiosity, and always try to apply the lessons I have learnt.
I am currently building a full featured Role Playing application with a UX designer friend, under the name StudioGR Check out my projects here
