About
Hello there, welcome!
This here is the personal/business website of Andy Pataki, a Freelance Full Stack Developer.
I specialize in "front-of-the-front-end" (e.g. UX focused, heavy-duty CSS+HTML) and React+TypeScript work, but I have many years of full stack development experience to fall back on if your project requires me to play all registers.
I live and work in Paks, Hungary in the GMT+1 (aka CET) timezone, serving clients based in the Americas and Europe.

Professional Milestones
TL;DR: I started working with HTML in 2001, CSS in 2004, PHP and MySQL in 2005, JavaScript in 2007, React in 2018, TypeScript and SuiteScript in 2021.
1999
Published my first HTML page on the internet.
2001
Started my professional life as a Designer/Webmaster at Hungarian Power Companies Ltd. (MVM Zrt.) in Budapest.
The first time I used HTML in a professional capacity.
2004
Started my own company as a freelance hybrid Designer/Developer.
The first time I got paid to execute based on a Photoshop website mockup by building it with HTML and styling it completely with CSS.
2005
Built my first full stack web app (PHP+MySQL back-end, HTML+CSS front-end with minimal plain JavaScript).
2006
Started working for MVM Informatics Ltd. (MVMI Zrt., Paks) full-time as a hybrid Designer/Developer.
2007
The first time I got paid to build something (a folder structure browser within a web app) that took real advantage of JavaScript and AJAX.
I had the privilege of mentoring a junior Developer and a junior Designer and served as their technical lead for ~9 months before leaving MVMI.
2013
Became a hybrid Designer/Developer at GovernSoft Ltd. (Paks), a small Hungarian IT firm.
I built WebGyár, a multi-site content management system for small- and medium-sized businesses. By the time of my departure in 2016 GovernSoft's WebGyár system powered around 10 different websites with widely varying layouts, sitemaps and many unique features.
The CMS provided our clients with the ability to manage news posts, product pages and galleries, had full multi-language capabilities, and a convenient AJAX-based file/folder manager with multi-upload and cut and paste functionality.

2016
I mentored my replacement, a junior Designer for about a year before leaving GovernSoft.
I made the decision to let go of design work and focus exclusively on web development.
I spent a lot of the following few years studying things like algorithms and data structures, responsive design, accessibility, and most important of all, advanced JavaScript with a strong focus on React.
2018
The first time I built something in React (an admin app for a small hiring platform) that made it to production and other people used to accomplish tasks at work.
2021
Started working for Connexa, a Texas-based B2B firm as a Full Stack Developer with a full-time contract.
The first time I used my currently preferred set of front-end technologies (React, TypeScript and CSS BEM) in a professional setting.
The first time I got paid to build something serious with SuiteScript 2.1 (the scripting language for the NetSuite ERP platform).
TL;DR: Before becoming a full-time Developer I worked for over a decade in hybrid Designer/Developer roles. I have extensive experience with Photoshop, Illustrator and Balsamiq. I'm somewhat proficient with Premiere Pro and started dabbling in Figma in 2025.
See this Flickr album for examples of my design work over the years.
2001
The first time I used Adobe Photoshop in a professional capacity.
2003
The first time I used Adobe Illustrator in a professional capacity. Over the years I designed quite a few logos and dabbled in some Design-to-Print work.
2004
As a freelance Web Designer creating website mockups in Photoshop and iterating on them based on client feedback became my standard step #1 for any new project.
2015
Used Balsamiq for UX design work on a more serious software project (a combination CRM and project management tool) for the first time.
The first time I used Adobe Premiere Pro in a professional capacity.
2025
Used Figma to create my latest resume.
