@bencekodaj

C++ expert and hands-on team lead with an MSc in mathematics and 25+ years of experience

Spain

I’m a software engineer and hands-on team lead with an MSc in mathematics and ample experience in multiple industries. I’m an expert in C++ and proficient in Haskell; I write high-quality, well-designed, thoroughly tested, carefully documented code, and I expect the same from my coworkers.
— In my last job as an individual contributor, I implemented the core functionality of a web application that brought tremendous efficiency improvements to aviation finance.
— As hands-on team lead, I built up from scratch several successful teams, one of which saved a top investment bank several million dollars and was voted best team in the office.
I’m disciplined and organized, and I have experience in efficient remote work. Regarding extracurricular activities, I was the first one in Hungary to win the maximum possible number of rounds in Jeopardy on national TV.
