Hi, I’m Kristof Kelemen. I’m a full-stack engineer who loves shipping MVPs quickly and learning in the wild through real user feedback. I take ownership of the code I write and enjoy collaborating with backend developers, designers, and stakeholders to turn ideas into reliable software. My background spans fintech and large-scale data pipelines, where I focus on performance, maintainability, and rapid delivery in ambiguous environments. I thrive in teams that value clear communication, thoughtful architecture, and hands-on problem solving.
