I'm a Backend Software Engineer specializing in Java and Scala, currently building and maintaining applications for Morgan Stanley's OTC Equity Derivatives team in Budapest. I enjoy turning ideas into robust microservices using Java, Scala, Spring Boot, and GraphQL, and I contribute to greenfield projects while keeping systems reliable and scalable. I value teamwork, continuous learning, and solving challenging problems. Outside work I’ve played water polo for two decades, which has taught me discipline, collaboration, and staying calm under pressure; I stay curious about new technologies and love sharing knowledge with my teammates.
