Project History
Gamer365
https://www.gamer365.huGamer365 is one of the most known video game portals in Hungary. I have created the whole website alone, including user experience design, web design, back-end, and front-end programming. I managed the server environment for the website.
Nintendo.hu
I created the official website of Nintendo Hungary with a custom-built PHP on the back end. I also imported all Nintendo game titles into a game database and managed the translation project of the game descriptions. Since Nintendo closed the Hungarian department, it has been replaced with a WordPress site.
StartLap (StartPage)
https://www.startlap.hu/startlap.hu was Hungary's most used default website in the early 2000s. I created the architecture and implementation of the back-end and most front-end UI components. It had thousands of pages with individual editors and advertisers in those times.
