Experience
Microsoft To Do Redesign
http://todo.microsoft.comI implemented a new theming system for the redesign of Microsoft To Do, a UWP-based app. For this project, I was the primary front-end developer and liaised with the design team to integrate the new UI according to specifications.
The new UI was known as version 2.0 and it provided users with a fresh new look and new background options that adapt to the current Windows theme (light mode or dark mode). Along with the new theming features, we have also enhanced the existing design system to make it easier for developers to use predefined components such as fonts and color schemes.

PDF Automation Framework
http://www.microfocus.comAn automation framework as part of the unified functional testing platform (UFT) that allows users to automate their interaction with PDF documents. This framework addresses the need to have an automation tool that can save valuable employee time by automatically performing all of the repetitive interactions.
I was the leading developer in charge of designing the interaction API and the one introducing support for it in the UFT. As part of this project, I also added support for all available PDF components—such as text fields, checkboxes, signature fields, and more—and worked directly with the project managers and the QA team to ensure that we deliver all of the features that customers require.

Live Streaming Platform
A custom live streaming platform based on OpenVidu and Kurento Media Server. The platform allows us to stream WebRTC content via HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), thus allowing for a broader range of scaling options.
For this project, I have implemented support for users to live stream and seamlessly record their sessions.

Chip8 Emulator
https://github.com/TamasFlorin/chip8-rsA personal project that I have started to provide an emulator for the Chip-8 interpreted programming language written in Rust to learn more about the language itself.
The project is open-source and can be used to load any Chip-8 ROM, render the visual output of the executed instructions onto the screen, and allow the user to interact with it by using the keyboard.
The project also provides a good starting point for anyone looking to work on emulators and graphic engines using Rust.

Distributed Consensus Algorithm
https://github.com/TamasFlorin/distributed_consensusI've written a Rust implementation of the distributed consensus algorithm to learn more about the language itself and the mechanism involved in ensuring a consensus of data among nodes in a distributed system.
