PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Nov 2023 - Jun 2026
Fleet Air International Kft.
Stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Zustand, TanStack Query, Apollo Client, Node.js, NestJS, REST APIs, GraphQL,
Supabase, Prisma, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS

Testing and Operations: Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Sentry
D esigned and implemented GraphQL and REST workflows, documenting API contracts with OpenAPI and applying
Zod-based validation, data transformation, error handling, and integration with frontend application flows.

Owned full-stack delivery of business-critical functionality across data-intensive React and Next.js interfaces,
Node.js and NestJS services, API integrations, AWS-hosted environments, and production support.

Built real-time and event-driven workflows using Kafka, RabbitMQ, and SSE, connecting asynchronous backend
processing with operational interfaces and rapidly changing client-side state.

Developed resilient client-server data flows with Redis-backed caching, synchronization, retry mechanisms, offline
handling, and recovery strategies for unreliable network conditions.

Led architectural refactoring and migration initiatives across frontend and backend layers, simplifying integration
and data-management patterns while making feature delivery safer and more maintainable.

Investigated and resolved production issues using Sentry across APIs, asynchronous workflows, cached data, and
service dependencies, improving system stability and incident diagnosis.

Built automated test coverage with Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright across frontend components,
integrations, and critical end-to-end workflows.
