Szabolcs Hetei-Bakó portrait
Available for work

Hey there! I'm Szabi, a software engineer living between Hungary and the buzzing streets of Frankfurt.

With over 20 years of theatre experience and a passion for technology, I blend creativity with technical expertise to build exceptional digital experiences.

I've worked with health-tech startups in Berlin, helped scale publishing platforms, and everything in between. Currently focused on building performant, accessible, and beautiful web applications.

What I Do

Services

forresults

Fixed-price engagements. No surprises. No billing by the hour.

01

Web Application Development

Full-stack React & Next.js applications built for performance and scale. From concept to production — clean architecture, TypeScript, and code that your team will actually want to maintain.

  • Custom React / Next.js app
  • TypeScript codebase
  • CMS integration
  • API design & integration
  • Deployment & CI/CD setup
02

Design Implementation

You have the Figma designs. I'll turn them into pixel-perfect, animated interfaces that feel exactly as intended — with the micro-interactions and motion that make visitors remember you.

  • Figma → production code
  • Motion & animation
  • Responsive on all devices
  • Accessibility built-in
  • Component library setup
03

Performance Optimization

Slow sites lose customers. I'll audit your web performance, fix Core Web Vitals, and cut load times — so Google ranks you higher and visitors actually stay.

  • Lighthouse & CWV audit
  • Bundle size reduction
  • Image & font optimization
  • Server-side rendering
  • Full performance report
04

Technical Consulting

Architecture review, tech stack decisions, team mentoring, or a second opinion on a hard problem. Focused engagements that give you clarity and move fast.

  • Architecture review
  • Tech stack advisory
  • Code quality audit
  • 1:1 team workshops
  • Written recommendations
