Boldizsar Akos Mezei

Team Lead and Full-stack Developer in Budapest, Hungary

Member since March 17, 2020
Boldizsar is a Java/Scala back-end developer who has worked at Morgan Stanley on a group of microservices. His primary focus is backend development but he is also open for Android development. Boldizsar considers himself a hybrid in the sense that he is highly business-focused. When dealing with tasks, he would rather choose the inconvenient, unusual way to achieve the best outcome both for the client and the project itself.
Boldizsar is now available for hire

Experience

  • Portfolio Risk and Margin Calculator

    I was a back-end developer for a Java-based application, organized into microservices. The project's main goal was to provide real and non-real-time risk and margin calculations for portfolios. My main task was to onboard new functionalities and upgrade the current system to use the newest technologies. While doing so, I had to communicate and coordinate tasks around the world as the global team sits in India, London, and New York as well.

  • Loan Providing Web App
    https://raha.fi/lainat/lainojen-yhdistaminen/

    An Angular and Firebase web app for loan providing. I was the back-end developer for an existing loan providing web app. During this project, my main task was to clean up the existing Firebase Cloud functions to ensure higher stability and lower running costs. I also created automated CD and CI jobs to save developer's time, thus reducing time to market and costs spent on repetitive tasks.

    Client testimonial: "I can highly recommend Boldizsar for demanding software development jobs. Boldizsar cares about his work and you can really see it through his communication and professionalism. He managed to grasp our business context and application very quickly and fixed messy code written by the previous developer. Boldizsar delivered tasks always on time and most important were pro-actively fixing issues or suggesting improvements."

  • Parseports

    A React and Firebase-based ticketing platform for the Australian tourism industry.

    In the beginning, I was the back-end developer for this project. As the project grew and we hired more developers, I became a full-stack developer and tech/team lead. My role was to oversee the complete development lifecycle of the project, add and upgrade new features on the back-and-front-end site, and organize tasks among team members.

  • PHirst App

    An emergency app for those who connect, respond, and care (the published app is in an MVP state.)
    Initially, I was the back-end developer for this app. My role was to provide a stable and highly scalable back-end service for the iOS/Android-based front end. Soon, as the project grew, I took the initiative and became the tech/team lead and full-stack developer. After that, my job became more complicated as I had to manage the team and be responsible for the Android front end.
