In my spare time I build apps in Swift for Mac and iOS. Teaching has also become a part of my life and I’m very grateful for that. Giving back to the community is amazing.

Currently leading the design efforts of Deutsche Telekom's Design Hub where I spend most of my time working on international projects designing UX & UI. It's super exciting to be able to work on products used by millions of people all over Europe and to do this with a talented and friendly team.

2020

Our team released the new Telekom app When I joined Deutsche Telekom in 2018 our team, Design Hub was mostly doing design localization of German products for the local markets around the EU. But in early 2019 we got the chance to become the lead design team for the redesign of the most important European product for Telekom: the self-care mobile application. It was already being used by over 5 million users monthly so it was quite an exciting challenge. Together with the awesome management and development teams we released the app to 9 countries. Read more about the process in this interview in Hungarian, or the story from the Product Owner's perspective.

2019

I build my own IoT hardware now! As one of my main goals for 2019 I decided to try to make my home smarter. At first I just wanted to create a something simple. The fascination grew and grew and so did the possibilities I realized a home had. I learn a lot each time I create something. And because I've never had any experience with electronics before I struggle a lot. But today I can manage my alarm system, open and close the garage door, control many lights, set the heating or cooling and many more fun things, all integrated through Apple's HomeKit. I love doing this and it's a great and mostly cheap hobby. You can follow my very messy progress on Twitter in this thread.

Started teaching at Hungarian University of Fine Arts The Hungarian University of Fine Arts is one of the most prestigious art schools of Hungary. UI Academy is a special 3 month course run by the university and organized by three amazing people. When they reached out to me to teach UI design basics and UI animation I knew I would love it. I wasn't wrong :) And at the end they even invited me to judge the final work and performance by the students, which was a total blast! It's been an honor to continue teaching each semester ever since.

2018

Joined Deutsche Telekom's Design Hub Becoming a lead designer has been the aim of my career for a while now, and with Deutsche Telekom it became a reality. I'm not ready to change my portfolio's color to #E20074 yet, though it's already pretty close 😉

New portfolio site Clean, simple, super focused. As all designers, I have not been satisfied with my portfolio page for longer than a month. So this facelift was well overdue. Also, check out the new Projects section!

2017

Started teaching design The online design community is known for being open and helpful towards beginners. As a designer I always wanted to try my hands on teaching young people about design, so when Hellodesign reached out I immediately said yes. So I'm teaching now! 🎉

Ustream became IBM Cloud Video After the IBM acquisition in January of 2016, the Budapest office of Ustream officially became part of IBM Cloud Video in April of 2017. IBM sounds boring? Think again!

2013

Talked about “GAget for iPhone” at App! 2013 conference by hwsw I was invited to talk about the design and development challanges of creating GAget for iPhone. You can listen to my 15 minute talk here in Hungarian.

Released GAget for iPhone 2 years and 60 thousand downloads after the release of GAget for Mac OS X it was time to put the iPhone version into the hands of the public. With András Holló in 2013 october we released GAget for iPhone.

Graduated from BME (BUTE) While working full time at Arkon, I found some time to finish my thesis on social media marketing and graduate as an Engineering Manager from the biggest technical university of Hungary.

Founded the Arkon Design team The company structure at Arkon for people working in a design-related field was kind of a headache, we had no clear company hierarchy, so with the help of the management and HR, Balázs Dömsödi and we started the self-managed Design team at Arkon.

Released GAget for Mac OS X The Dashboard of OS X doesn't get much love from Apple and developers, but I believe it could be really useful if there were great widgets for it. That's why I developed GAget for Mac OS X, a Google Analytics widget for quick and easy access to the most important data of your GA account.

Redesigned my portfolio The skeuomorphism was really booming in 2011 so I was not going to be the one left out. A digitally drawn room, bookshelf on the wall, a drawing of myself, wooden buttons and flickering lamp lights were all essential parts of this fully skeuomorphic design. :)
