Péter Szabó
I value software code and architecture quality above everything else. I'm always ready to discuss ideas and improvements, be it architecture, backend or frontend code. I put a great emphasis on enabling people to increase their productivity via automated tools. I enjoy mentoring and coaching others, as well as being mentored or coached by others. I firmly believe communication is one of the most important things not only in software development, but in life.
My specialties are: task automation ~ prototyping ~ architecture design ~ clean code
~ process establishment ~ business enablement ~ customer orientation.
