Software Engineer

Description, Achievements:

I worked on a complex engineering software, and up to this day I still work on some of its components. Since January 2022 our agile team was assigned a new project and we have been working on that ever since. We are developing a solution to make certain data more accessible to all the engineering software that we can support. Our REST interface supplies all the required data to customers, in the exact format they require.

One thing I’m responsible for is product configuration. This sounds easy enough but actually it is quite challenging. Think about buying a car. Some parameters will inevitably have an effect on other parameters - but how do the affected parameters relate to the previous ones? Or perhaps completely different options should be selected?

I also actively take part in the data-management solution. I develop REST endpoints, write unit and integration tests, review code and fix the occasional error - be it in the data access layer or as simple as the DTO definition.

Recently I also became responsible for our CI system, that is just a fancy name for a bunch of Jenkins jobs.

I’m lazy, so I have automated some of my work at Evosoft - using python and C# - to ease my life and others’ and naturally, to produce consistent results. Probably these automations are what I’m the most proud of since I saved a bunch of effort to developers, and probably a lot of money for the company.

Finally, to top everything else, in March, 2021 me and 2 colleagues took part in a hackathon in Szeged, Hungary and our app idea got such a decent amount of recognition that Evosoft and the city of Szeged decided to actually realize the App. This project makes us well versed in Blazor.

Python Developer

Description, Achievements:

The job I took at my university required me to develop a deep understanding of python and more importantly Django. Essentially, I was working on a website, that opened up a convenient user interface on top of an AI-driven application. The project’s focus was to optimally match possible partner companies, filter for competitors, analyze market competition or perhaps determine if expanding bussiness to a given target country is worth it. This was/is actually an EU-financed software solution that should benefit all companies in the world - European or otherwise. I got familiar with databases (SQL and DocumentDBs, mostly), I learnt how to use Bootstrap well, I got to know the jinja2 templating engine, I became quite confident with Django, its migrations system (and fixing migration issues when things go sideways), I got to know javascript, jquery, chart.js and a whole bunch of other js package. Data processing with pandas and numpy is something I got quite good at. The occasional nginx config fix was just a lovely cherry on top of everything.

Software Engineer

Description, Achievements:

I started working at Gerhardt Informatics as an intern in June, 2019. After finishing my internship, I was offered a student position. I mostly worked on 2 projects. One I would Consider an RPA project as it was a chatbot for our developers, which we alter wanted to integrate into our communications platform. Essentially, this chatbot would have taken care of administrative tasks, thus sparing time for developers. The skills of the cahtbot use Google APIs llike Calendar and Drive/Sheets, Git and YouTrack. The other project was our own internal communications server. I had a “blueprint” here, but to integrate the chatbot, I needed additional functionality, which I coded myself. I also did some mentoring. Gradually, new colleagues were introduced to the chatbot development, so that I could keep working on the server-side of things, to keep the platform ready for the newest bot versions and skills. I have also been automating deployment processes for the CMS of the company website, and our custom identity provider, which was based on Keycloak. For these deployment solutions, I used jupyter notebooks, python and I also had to transcribe ansible playbooks, so I have a rough understanding of that as well. Last but not least, when I left I was actively working on the authentication system of a ridesharing platform, using Keycloak and PHP.
