About Wanari.

Don't be fooled by her quietness. She is smart and always chooses her words very carefully. Her impeccable English skills also make her posts a pleasure to read!

She is the one that organizes pretty much everything, the one we can turn to with any of our aches. She keeps everything in order at the office, sometimes even the rest of the team. A little bit like a mom away from home.

Our CTO has quite the Wanari experience, he joined the team in 2005 and has been going strong ever since. Read more about his career in this in-depth interview about him and his team.

Sebi is an experienced full stack developer. He loves Spring Boot and tries to internalize its philosophy as much as he can.

He loves simplicity and elegant solutions. Time-zones though are not his favorite - he hopes they will one day disappear. 😀

He is interested in agile methods and traveling. In his free time, he keep himself active by playing basketball and squash.

He’s finished his Master’s degree in software engineering and has been a member of #TeamWanari since 2015. His precision is only coupled by his attention to detail. (Really.) His favorite tools are cmder and 3RVX. He is passionate about becoming more and more effective in software development and loves experimenting with new technologies. Personally? Whenever he has free time, he has a few favorite shows to watch and also enjoys playing; be it card, computer or board games. His favorite is still ...drumroll… sleeping!

So, this guy is a certified bartender. Our fun and insightful leader is a CTO-became-CEO. His remarkable ability to juggle staying up-to-date on technologies, while educating himself about management, and even sales techniques, makes him a resource any member of the team can turn to. His current explorations lie in the business implementation of lean methods. ...and yes, he is even a certified bartender.

No surprise he’s always led an active and full life. He loves the early hours of dawn, too, when the city and his inbox are quiet, giving him a couple of hours to really focus on issues that matter to the business.

All the while, as a father of two, he has now learned to leave the office by 6 PM… on most days anyway. 🙂

His favorite color is red and his favorite piece of advice is “Choose the right tools for the right job.”

Long is a junior Android developer who loves a challenge. He is eager to learn and also loves sharing knowledge. Read his first blog post on #WanariLeaks!

Our Repi started at Wanari recently. He has experienced project management and execution at his previous jobs and is now eager to help our clients with their needs. Meeting the requirements is something that he is very particular about, however he is a sensible guy to talk to.

He likes to take his mind off of the daily grind with cooking. He is originally from the countryside and he can - for example - make a rabbit in 8 different ways. (yumm :))

In his free time he plays chess and board games, and buys random gadgets. (Ask him about his smart watch collection! ;))

Kinga started working with #TeamWanari as an intern. We quickly realized she is a perfect match to our growing team with her positive attitude and passion for quality service.

Catchy is a junior frontend developer. His contagious can-do attitude is an excellent addition to #TeamWanari

Laki is a junior backend developer. His first tasks were full-stack oriented however, he was not frightened though! His thoughtful questions and laid-back character make him a pleasure to work with!

"...and the university convinced me that I don't want to be an electrical engineer." Gabesz then started educating himself on software development and soon realized he enjoyed frontend tasks the most. He applied to Wanari and is now a quick learner on our frontend team.

When he is not at the office, you might be able to find him bartending at Hungarian festivals.

Papi is an excellent resource when it comes to Java, Akka, and Play framework questions. His sense of humor also makes him a delight to ask. 😉

Pogi started working at Wanari a few months ago and has already become an integral part of the team.

His favorite color is B22222, commonly known as fire brick red. 🙂 He is a junior iOS developer at Wanari and has been with us since January. His coding style and favorite language are the same: Swift.

He loves dogs that are, as he puts it, big enough not to jump when they bark and appreciates any remote control he can download to his phone (those make it easier to be lazy). His favorite time of day is any quiet night that gives him an opportunity to think about the most pressing questions of life. He isn’t so different at work: he loves to learn and is always eager to put his knowledge to good use.

A mobile developer experienced on many platforms, our team knows Renátó as a resourceful guy, always willing to help. His great sense of humor makes even the dullest coffee break a joy.

Ati is on the forefront of testing our every app and of course leads all manual testing teams for bigger project. Truly an invaluable guy.

She’s always been interested in computers and knew she wanted to work with them since she was a child.

Fast forward: Vera got her bachelor’s from Obuda University with a specialization in mobile development. But she already knew she wanted to become a frontend developer. She saw Wanari’s opening online and with no related work experience, she took a leap of faith and applied.  

Once here, she started working on the server side and engaged with CSS, HTML and later her absolute favorite: Angular on the frontend! Another dream of hers is to visit Japan one day. She absolutely loves the island: the culture, the food, the language. Yes, she studies Japanese, setting herself up, we think, for achieving another dream!

Ksisu is a Scala backend dev at Wanari. His curious attitude and attention to detail are quite remarkable!

His favorite color is blue. His favorite technologies are AngularJS and Java 8. He loves being an orientation leader! He is a fussball champion ...or so he likes to declare. And he’s been at Wanari for two years. How did he become a developer? He hadn’t seen a single piece of source code before starting university. But then, during his sophomore year, he was given an assignment: make a game of Tetris in Java. This was his first time realizing, software engineering might be, as he likes to say, AWSUM. Afterall, who plays with a tetris game they built?

All codes are like persons: you need to listen carefully to understand their purposes, motivations. After that, the small details will come clean by themselves.

Orsoly is our always smiling and forever cheerful HR manager. She helps to make the most of ourselves. She likes being able to use not only HR knowledge but also his insights and soft skills as a member of Team Wanari. Plus she is a professional hiker, mountaineer and she loves to dance!

Csondi is a heavy Apple user, he loves to use Apple devices, and he becomes curious about how can he develop on ios. So he learned it and started to work with us as an intern junior ios developer, and now he is working with us as a full-time ios developer. In his free time, he loves to play football, skiing, go to the gym, playing on his guitar or playing on his PS4.

Boldi is our junior Android developer, but he loves to work in Flutter too. He is playing handball and ping-pong in his free time.

Her official name is Andi, her artist name is Andy at Wanari. Her field is manage everything that you can imagine in the office, financial and operational issues too, so you can mean a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g for us! So every day is a new, interesting, challenge day in a big ocean and she is enjoying this kind of sailing. As she said ""And honestly my main joy is a good feeling, when “nothing happens”, it means that everything is safe and sound…” She loves to travel, get experiences, sing loud in the bathroom, whistle on the street, be with people who have good vibes, sometimes go to the forest to enjoy nature and reload herself 😊

Viki is one of our new colleagues, this is her first job. She started to love programming because of a backend project at the university. Since then she has been interested in web development and as a part of Wanari, she can finally try herself as a real programmer. She loves animals (except bugs just like in coding), when she sees a cute dog or cat on the street, she usually screams. Her friends are used to this, but to strangers, it can be weird. She loves skating, taking photos and create drawings both on paper and in digital.

Áki is a junior backend developer. He started to learn programming at the university, and he decided to make a career as a developer. He started learning scala about a year ago, and he's looking to put his newfound skills to good use in developing exceptional applications with #TeamWanari.
He loves all kinds of console- and board games, sci-fi, playing football, and drinking endless amounts of energy drinks.

Csabi first time studied programming in high school, and he liked it there. Creative problem solving is close to Csabi, and that's what caught him in coding too. As he said, "It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle you have to put the matching pieces together to get one thing working, sometimes just joining two pieces will ruin the rest." He likes to organize, and in the not so far future, he would like to try himself as a team leader or a project manager.

In his spare time, Csabi likes to watch animated series like Adventure Time or Final Space. He loves hip-hop music his favorite artists are Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott. He loves to cook and of course, to eat his favorite is Indian cuisine.

Ildi is our project manager. She moved to Budapest in high school when she started her studies on graphic arts major after that, she continued her studies at college and learned business communication and media technology. She has been managing various projects for five years before Wanari she worked on facilities management projects. Don't be misled by her sweetness and kindness, she can be strong-minded if need be.

When she is not working, she balances on a slackline, climbs a wall, and tries snowboarding in winter. She collects books, and in the cold, her favorite activity is to read on the couch with a hot tea and her kitten Phantom.

Bence works with Windows servers and now he is learning the tricks of Linux servers. If he faced with a seemingly unsolvable problem, he takes a walk to clear his head and starts working on it again.

In his spare time, he likes to go to the cinema with his girlfriend, to explore Budapest and to have some coffee. If he has some time left, he builds Warhammer 40,000 or other sci-fi and fantasy models or plays on his Nintendo.

Dani is a backend developer with Java (Spring) background and now a wannabe Scala dev as he loves the way of thinking needed for functional programming.
He is a real foodie, constantly searching for new food and drink experiences across the globe, with a focus on Asian cuisine, natural wines and cocktails.
He loves travelling, especially exploring the nordic region and major cities.

Soma has earned the "Youngest Member of Wanari" title (now). He is a Frontend Angular Developer, for several reasons, but maybe it's the order and the structure of the angular why he chose this framework. The frontend has always been more interesting for him because he gets instant feedback about something that he did is a bug or feature. In the long run, he would like to become a full-stack developer, because what he really likes about development is the constant logic puzzles and the fact that he can always learn new things.

In his spare time, his loves are: motorcycling, riding on his skateboards and a lot of other physical activities and extreme sports (except extreme jumping, Soma did not like extreme jumping).
