Profile

I am Hungarian, coming from a small city in the south, moved to Budapest for University and then stayed there.

this is where I’m from

My favourite subject in school was physics, so I became a physicist, then started working in the industry as an engineer, later became a project manager and then in 2011 an Engineering Manager.

As a scientist I worked as an experimental physicist with lasers, as an engineer and project manager I was part of a team developing medical X-ray devices.

In the past 10+ years, I was leading different type of engineers: Software Engineers, Power Electronics Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Test Engineers.

I did competitive athletics when I was young and still love (any kind of) sports, I mostly do running, cycling and swimming.

I’m leading Software Engineers who are developing software for other software developers, who are programming small devices (motion sensors, cameras, mobile phones…).

manager responsibilities

A manager’s job is to guide their team, tell them what to work on, how to get organised, make decisions if they are in disagreement and help them if they are stuck.

I also need to think about strategy (what product to develop in the future) and discuss with other managers how to prepare for the new challenges: how many engineers we need, what skills are necessary, etc…

Sometimes I need to hire engineers, this is done by asking them questions and deciding if they are smart enough for the job and could fit culturally in the team (this is called interview).

Once in a while I need to report to my managers on the progress of my team, will they be ready on time with the new product, do I need any help from another team or can I offer my team’s support.
